A high-contrast serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and sharp, triangular serif shapes. Stems and joins show a distinctly calligraphic modulation, moving from very thick verticals into hairline thins, with occasional bulb-like terminals and curled, swash-like details on letters such as J, Q, S, and y. The capitals are compact and weighty with crisp edges and sculpted counters, while the lowercase features lively ascenders, rounded bowls, and a rhythm that alternates between rigid verticals and expressive curves. Numerals echo the same sharp serif language and dramatic thick–thin transitions, creating a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
Best suited for headlines and short to medium-length display text where its high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine mastheads, book cover typography, theatrical or cultural posters, and brand wordmarks that want a classic foundation with expressive detail.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, combining classical serif gravity with a slightly playful, flourish-driven personality. It reads as editorial and ceremonial—suited to making statements—while the animated terminals add a touch of whimsy and vintage charm rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to deliver strong impact through extreme stroke contrast and flared, chiseled serifs, while retaining an ornamental, calligraphic character in key glyphs. It balances traditional serif cues with energetic terminals to create a distinctive display voice for titles and branding.
The strong contrast and pointed serif forms create sparkling highlights and deep dark masses, especially in tightly set text. Several glyphs show intentional asymmetries and curled terminals that give the face a handcrafted, engraved or poster-like feel, making it more distinctive than a neutral text serif.
