A striking display serif with pronounced stroke modulation and wedge-like serifs that often flare into sharp, triangular terminals. Curves are generous but controlled, while joins and endings create crisp points and occasional pinched or notched transitions that add tension to the outlines. Capitals feel sculpted and slightly narrow in places, with lively diagonals and tapered horizontals; lowercase shows similarly energetic shaping, including distinctive bowls and hooked or flicked terminals. Overall rhythm is dynamic and slightly irregular in a deliberate, decorative way, reading as crafted rather than purely geometric.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short passages where its distinctive wedges and contrast can be appreciated. It can work well for book covers, editorial features, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a dramatic, crafted serif voice. For extended reading, it is likely most comfortable when set larger with generous spacing.
The face conveys a dramatic, editorial tone with a touch of theatrical flair. Its sharp wedges and sweeping curves evoke a vintage, storybook sensibility while still feeling assertive and contemporary in contrast. The overall impression is expressive and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a recognizable, expressive serif personality by combining high-contrast calligraphic cues with sharpened wedge serifs and sculptural terminals. Its forms prioritize character and impact, aiming to create memorable word shapes and a rich, decorative texture in display settings.
At text sizes the strong contrast and pointed detailing can create sparkling texture and pronounced word shapes, while at larger sizes the sculpted terminals and flared serifs become the primary visual signature. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic and appear designed to harmonize in headlines and titling.
