A highly sculpted serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced modulation between thick and hairline strokes. The letterforms have a slightly calligraphic logic, with swelling stems that taper into sharp points and occasional notch-like joins that give an ink-trap-adjacent feel. Counters are compact and often teardrop-shaped, creating a dense, high-ink silhouette; diagonals and curves show purposeful carving rather than smooth geometric continuity. Spacing appears tight in text, emphasizing a rhythmic pattern of black shapes and sharp internal cuts.
Best suited for large sizes where the carved details, sharp terminals, and contrast can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, fashion or cultural posters, album or event titles, and high-impact brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, section openers, packaging callouts) where a dense, dramatic typographic color is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with an editorial glamour that reads as stylized and intentional rather than neutral. Its sharp flares and deep contrast suggest a vintage display sensibility—confident, dramatic, and slightly mischievous in texture. The font projects authority and spectacle, making ordinary words feel like headlines.
The design appears intended to translate flared, calligraphic stroke behavior into a modern display serif with strong presence. By combining wedge-like serifs, sculpted joins, and compact counters, it aims to deliver a distinctive headline voice that feels crafted and expressive rather than purely classical.
Uppercase forms are especially emphatic, with broad horizontal presence and striking wedge serifs that create strong directional stress. The lowercase maintains the same carved, flared logic, producing a cohesive texture that favors impact over quiet readability. Numerals match the heavy, sculpted character, with tight apertures and strong contrast that keeps them visually consistent with the letters.
