A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and often sharpen into beak-like or hooked endings, giving stems and bowls a slightly calligraphic bite. Curves are tight and controlled, with small apertures and pointed junctions in several letters; some lowercase forms show teardrop/ball-like terminals and distinctive hooked descenders (notably on j, g, y). The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, but with subtly varied glyph widths that create a lively, non-mechanical texture in text.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, and magazine or book-cover titling where its contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial text blocks when set with comfortable size and spacing, but its fine details and sharp joins may feel busy in small sizes or low-resolution environments.
The tone is elegant and editorial, but with an idiosyncratic sharpness that feels dramatic and slightly mischievous. It evokes classic book typography at a glance, yet the hooked details and pinched joins add a decorative edge suited to more expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to blend traditional high-contrast serif structure with more decorative, characterful terminals and hooks, creating a recognizable voice for publishing and branded editorial applications.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines read best at larger sizes or in high-quality printing contexts. The distinctive hooks and beaked terminals provide recognizable personality, especially in uppercase forms and in letters with descenders.
