A decorative serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tightly drawn proportions. Strokes taper into sharp, flared wedge serifs and spurs, creating a chiseled, almost carved rhythm rather than bracketed, bookish serifs. Curves are energetic and slightly eccentric, with teardrop-like terminals and occasional inward notches that add bite to joins. The uppercase feels tall and compact, while the lowercase mixes sturdy bowls with distinctive, tapered ascenders and angular entry/exit strokes; numerals echo the same dramatic swelling and pointed finishing.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and branded display applications where its sharp flares and distinctive silhouettes can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for packaging or period-leaning editorial display, especially for short phrases and title treatments.
The overall tone is theatrical and vintage, with a bold show-card confidence and a slightly mischievous, ornamental edge. Its sharp tapers and animated terminals give it a crafted, display-first personality that reads as classic yet unconventional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif framework with exaggerated flared serifs, strong contrast, and expressive terminals for maximum impact in display settings. Its compact stance and sculpted details prioritize character and memorability over understated text neutrality.
Texture is punchy and high-contrast: dark stems dominate, then quickly snap into hairline-like tapers and pointed serifs. The design emphasizes distinctive silhouettes (notably in curves and terminals), which helps short words stand out but makes continuous reading feel more stylized than neutral.
