A high-contrast serif with strongly flared, wedge-like terminals that widen into stroke endings rather than finishing with flat slabs. Curves are full and slightly irregular in rhythm, with narrow waist transitions and teardrop-like joins that give counters a soft, organic feel. Capitals are broad and sculptural, while the lowercase shows noticeable modulation and a slightly calligraphic construction; the overall color is dark and emphatic, with crisp hairlines supporting heavy main strokes.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, editorial titles, posters, book covers, and brand marks. It can also work for short blocks of text such as pull quotes or captions when you want an emphatic, characterful voice rather than a quiet reading texture.
The design reads as confident and showy, with a vintage, poster-like energy. Its flared endings and lively modulation add a theatrical, slightly whimsical tone that feels more expressive than neutral, while still staying refined enough for formal display.
Likely intended to deliver a bold, classical serif presence with added movement from flared terminals and calligraphic modulation. The goal appears to be a distinctive, marketable display serif that feels traditional in structure but energetic in stroke behavior.
The numerals and capitals carry strong personality through exaggerated flares and distinctive curves, producing a rhythmic, attention-grabbing texture in text. At larger sizes, the sharp contrast and swollen terminals become the defining visual feature, creating a dynamic sparkle along word shapes and punctuation.
