A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered main strokes and fine hairlines that create a crisp, carved look. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into wedge-like terminals, while many curves finish with pronounced ball/teardrop terminals that add a sculptural rhythm. The letterforms show moderate proportions with a steady, upright stance; counters are relatively compact in the bold strokes, and curves in C/G/S and the bowls of a/b/d/p feel intentionally tensioned rather than geometric. Numerals follow the same display-forward construction, with strong weight in the verticals and delicate joins in the thins.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine/editorial settings, and poster or cover typography where its contrast and terminal details can be showcased. It can also work for short text passages in premium layouts when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, balancing traditional bookish credibility with a distinctly dramatic, fashion-leaning finish. The sharp contrast and rounded terminals introduce a sense of luxury and theatricality that reads as confident and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional serif voice through heightened contrast and distinctive terminal shaping, delivering a more expressive, display-oriented texture while retaining a recognizable, classic foundation.
In the text sample, the thin hairlines and tight internal spaces make the design feel more comfortable at larger sizes, where the contrast and terminal detailing can resolve cleanly. The ball terminals and flared serifs create a lively sparkle across lines, giving headings an animated, high-end texture.
