A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. Many strokes end in teardrop/ball-like terminals, and several joins flare into wedge-like transitions, creating a lively, slightly ornamental texture. Serifs read as refined and mostly softly bracketed, with occasional sharp, calligraphic-looking entry strokes and pointed beaks. Proportions lean elegant and open, with rounded bowls that feel broad against thin connecting strokes; figures show similarly dramatic contrast and stylized curves.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where the contrast and terminal details can be appreciated. It can also work for upscale packaging and poster work, especially when paired with a quieter companion for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a fashion/editorial sophistication tempered by playful, eccentric detailing. The teardrop terminals and delicate hairlines add a sense of theatricality and charm, giving the face a distinctive personality rather than a purely classical demeanor.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through decorative terminals and energetic stroke modulation, aiming for an expressive, premium feel with strong visual memorability.
At text sizes the hairlines and interior thins become visually prominent, creating a sparkling rhythm and a slightly dappled color in longer passages. The design’s ornamental terminals and sharp tapers make it most impactful when allowed generous size and spacing.
