A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, sharply tapered hairlines, and weighty stems that give it a distinctly graphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into pointed wedges, while many curves finish in teardrop or ball-like terminals that add decorative punctuation to the silhouettes. The forms feel slightly condensed in places with lively, calligraphic modulation, and the overall color is dark and assertive, especially in capitals and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and short-to-medium text where its contrast and decorative terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and book typography, packaging, and branding moments that call for an upscale, classic-yet-expressive serif presence.
The tone is editorial and theatrical, mixing classical refinement with a touch of vintage showmanship. Its crisp contrast and expressive terminals create a confident, slightly ornate voice that reads as premium and attention-seeking without becoming a full display script.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation amplified with pronounced contrast and distinctive terminal detailing, aiming for strong shelf impact and a refined, characterful voice in display settings.
Uppercase shapes present confident, sculpted bowls and strong diagonals, while lowercase includes noticeable terminal embellishments that can create a textured line in paragraphs. Numerals match the heavy, high-contrast construction and feel poster-ready, reinforcing the font’s emphasis on impactful typographic color.
