A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, weighty main strokes, and pronounced, often flared terminals that give many letters a subtly teardrop or wedge-ended finish. Serifs feel bracketed and sculpted rather than purely classical, with a slightly calligraphic flow in curved joins and diagonals. Proportions lean generous in round forms, while spacing and letterfit create a lively, slightly irregular rhythm that reads polished but not rigidly formal. Numerals and capitals share the same dramatic thick–thin pattern, with distinctive curves and tapered details that stand out in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, book or album covers, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and stylized terminals can carry personality. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially with comfortable tracking and line spacing to preserve the crisp hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, with a touch of theatricality from the sharp contrast and stylized terminals. It suggests boutique sophistication—poised and cultured—while the quirky flares and curving details add a lightly playful, personality-forward edge.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary-take-on-classic serif voice with added expressiveness through flared terminals and sculpted serifs. It aims to balance upscale editorial credibility with distinctive, decorative details that make words feel curated and memorable.
Curves frequently end in tapered points or bulb-like wedges, and several characters show intentionally characterful silhouettes that prioritize visual flavor over strict neutrality. The design’s contrast and detailing are most impactful at larger sizes, where the hairlines and terminal shapes remain clearly visible.
