A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, often flared terminals. Curves are generously rounded and sometimes pinched, while verticals can feel subtly tapered, creating a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm. The serifs read as sharp and dynamic rather than bracketed and bookish, and the overall texture is dark and punchy with noticeable stroke drama across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, book and magazine covers, packaging, editorials, event branding, and logotypes that benefit from a bold, characterful serif voice. It can also work for short passages like pull quotes or titles, where its lively modulation and sharp terminals remain clear and intentional.
This typeface conveys a confident, theatrical tone with a touch of eccentricity. Its sharp contrasts and animated curves give it a vintage, display-oriented personality that feels lively and slightly mischievous rather than purely formal.
The design appears intended to provide strong personality at headline sizes, using exaggerated contrast, flared endings, and stylized serif shapes to create a memorable silhouette. Its forms prioritize visual flair and rhythm over restrained neutrality, suggesting use where distinctive tone matters.
The numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and sharp terminal language, giving them a strong presence in layouts. In text settings the dark color and lively letterforms create an energetic texture, making it especially effective when given generous size and spacing.
