A high-contrast serif with lively, calligraphic modulation and flared wedge terminals. The serifs read as sharp, triangular cuts in places, with noticeable bracketing and swelling at joins that give strokes a sculpted, almost engraved feel. Uppercase forms are broad and stately with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic details (notably in the g, s, and t) that add personality. Spacing appears generous in display settings, and the overall rhythm alternates between crisp edges and soft, bulb-like curves.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and other display typography where its contrast and distinctive serif shaping can carry the page. It can work for premium branding and packaging, especially when paired with a quieter text face for longer reading.
The tone feels editorial and theatrical—formal at first glance, but with a witty, decorative undercurrent. It suggests fashion and culture publishing, classic literature covers, or upscale branding that wants tradition with a twist rather than strict old-style restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice enhanced by expressive, decorative stroke shaping. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and print-like elegance for attention-setting typography over neutrality.
Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and curved construction, with elegant, tapering terminals and a slightly jaunty silhouette. The design’s strong internal shapes and sharp terminals reward larger sizes, where the nuanced stroke shaping and bracketing remain clear.
