A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a sharp, polished texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into small, teardrop-like terminals, giving many letters a subtly calligraphic finish. Capitals feel sculptural and display-leaning, while the lowercase keeps clear, conventional skeletons but introduces lively entry/exit strokes and soft curves that prevent the design from feeling rigid. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast pattern, with thin cross-strokes and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short blocks of text where high contrast and decorative terminals can be appreciated. It fits magazine and editorial layouts, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and event or cultural posters that benefit from a refined, attention-grabbing serif.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a fashion-forward, editorial sensibility. Its combination of classic serif structure and decorative terminals adds a touch of theatricality and sophistication, reading as premium rather than casual. The rhythm in text feels poised and curated, suited to statements and headlines where personality is welcome.
Likely designed to modernize a classic high-contrast serif model by adding expressive, teardrop-like terminals and a slightly ornamental finish. The intention appears to balance luxury and readability—keeping familiar letterforms while injecting enough flourish to stand out in display typography.
In paragraph-style settings the strong contrast and delicate hairlines create a sparkling, high-end texture; at very small sizes those fine strokes may visually recede, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive teardrop terminals and sharp transitions. The design maintains a consistent motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing its display character.
