A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, paired with wedge-like, flared stroke endings. The letterforms have broad proportions and a lively, calligraphic rhythm: counters are generous, terminals often come to sharp points, and many joins taper into thin, blade-like connections. Serifs read as triangular/bracketed wedges rather than flat slabs, and several glyphs show sculpted notches and tapered cuts that emphasize a chiseled, inked-in-motion feel. Numerals and capitals carry strong headline presence, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with energetic ascenders and swash-prone terminals.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, poster typography, title treatments, and brand marks that benefit from a bold, stylish serif voice. It can also work for pull quotes and packaging where a dramatic, high-impact texture is desired, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a fashion-forward elegance that feels both classic and slightly mischievous. Its sharp wedges and high-contrast modulation evoke editorial glamour and vintage display typography, creating a sense of drama and motion even in short words.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through contrast, slanted energy, and flared serif detailing, aiming for a refined yet expressive display aesthetic. Its sharp terminals and sculpted joins suggest an intention to feel crafted and dynamic rather than neutral or purely text-oriented.
The design’s strongest features are its pointed terminals and flared serif treatment, which create distinctive silhouettes at larger sizes. In dense settings, the thin hairlines and tapered internal joins can visually sparkle, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence readability and texture.
