A high-contrast serif with heavy vertical stems, hairline cross-strokes, and pronounced bracketed serifs that often flare into sharp, pointed terminals. The shapes mix classical roman proportions with decorative cut-ins and angled joins, creating a slightly barbed silhouette along horizontals and serif tips. Rounds like O and C are smooth and generous, while letters such as A, K, R, and X introduce crisp diagonals and tapered entries. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure but add distinctive details—diamond-like dots on i/j, crisp beaks on some terminals, and a strong, dark texture that holds up at display sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, with narrow interior counters and assertive serifs.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where its contrast and ornamentation can be appreciated—magazine mastheads, theatrical posters, book-cover titling, and boutique branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when set with comfortable spacing and ample size.
The overall tone reads theatrical and editorial, combining formal, old-style cues with a playful, slightly gothic sparkle. Its sharp terminals and high contrast give it a refined, high-impact presence, while the diamond accents and spiky joins add an ornamental, storybook character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added decorative edge—maintaining familiar roman construction while injecting sharp, jewel-like details for standout display typography.
Stroke contrast is emphasized most in horizontals and interior joins, producing a lively rhythm across words. The texture is dense and commanding, with small counters in several letters that push the design toward headline use rather than long-form reading.
