A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller main strokes, shaped by gentle calligraphic modulation. Serifs are flared and often end in teardrop/ball terminals, giving many letters a softly ornamented finish. Capitals are relatively narrow and stately, while the lowercase shows more movement in bowls and diagonals (notably in g, y, and z), creating a varied, lively texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal language, with elegant curves and a slightly individualized feel across figures.
Well suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, book or magazine titling, and packaging or branding that wants a classic foundation with a decorative twist. It can work for short-form editorial text where an expressive, high-contrast serif is desired, especially in print or high-resolution settings.
The overall tone is refined and slightly playful: traditional at first glance, but with decorative terminal details that add personality and a storybook-like charm. It reads as cultured and expressive rather than strictly utilitarian, making text feel more curated and distinctive.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with ornamental, ball-terminal detailing to create an elegant but characterful voice. Its contrast and lively terminals aim to provide a distinctive identity for display-driven compositions while retaining a familiar serif structure.
In the sample text, the delicate hairlines and ball terminals add sparkle at display sizes, while the pronounced contrast and fine joins suggest it will look best when given enough size and spacing to breathe. The distinctive terminals can become a defining visual motif across headings and short passages.
