A very heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic shaping and conspicuous ball/teardrop terminals. Stems are thick and confident while hairlines narrow sharply, creating a punchy, poster-like rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into soft, wedge-like forms, and several letters show decorative spur and tail treatments that add movement without turning into full script. Curves are rounded and slightly compressed, with counters that stay relatively open for the weight, helping the forms read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited for large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, magazine covers, branding marks, and premium packaging where its contrast and terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the strong personality is most effective when used sparingly and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, evoking fashion-editorial typography and vintage headline styles. Its dramatic contrast and ornamented terminals feel celebratory and slightly flamboyant, making text look intentional and styled rather than neutral.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, high-impact display serif with classic roots but decorative finishing. The emphasis appears to be on memorable silhouettes, glamorous contrast, and lively terminals that elevate otherwise traditional serif construction.
The design leans on distinctive terminals and curved joins—especially visible in letters like C, G, S, and the diagonals of V/W/X—so the texture becomes more expressive as size increases. Numerals match the same sculpted contrast and terminal logic, supporting cohesive headline settings.
