A flamboyant serif with broad, horizontally expansive proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs read as flared wedges that often sweep into sharp, triangular points, while many strokes end in tapered, hooked terminals that create a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel. Counters are generous and rounded, with bulbous joins and a smooth, flowing contour that contrasts with the crisp, knife-like hairlines and points. The overall rhythm is highly sculpted and display-oriented, with noticeable letter-specific shaping and a lively, undulating baseline impression in text.
Best suited for headlines, cover typography, and short editorial passages where its dramatic contrast and ornamental terminals can be appreciated. It works well for branding and packaging that aims for a luxe, retro, or theatrical voice, and for event or entertainment materials where a distinctive silhouette is desirable.
The font conveys drama and luxury, with a showy, vintage-leaning personality that feels at home in expressive, attention-seeking typography. Its sharp flares and swooping terminals add a theatrical, slightly baroque tone that can read as playful or decadent depending on setting.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional serif structure through exaggerated flares, sharpened serifs, and curving, swash-like terminals to maximize character and impact. It prioritizes expressive form and a rich black-and-white texture over neutrality, aiming for memorable display typography.
In paragraph-style samples the dense blacks and intricate terminals create a strong texture that favors larger sizes; the most delicate hairlines and pointed serifs become prominent visual accents. Numerals and capitals echo the same sweeping wedge-and-hook motif, giving headlines a cohesive, ornamented silhouette.
