A high-contrast serif with vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines that read as crisp, delicate finishing strokes. The capitals are broad and stately, with a measured rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation in bowls and stems. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, and several letters show small flared or hooked details that lend a subtly calligraphic edge. Lowercase forms are open and sturdy in the main strokes, punctuated by elegant hairline joins and frequent ball/teardrop terminals (notably in g, j, y, and several numerals), giving the design a lively texture without becoming ornate.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine/editorial typography, book covers, and brand marks where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes where the delicate strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a dramatic, high-fashion contrast that feels poised and upscale. Its delicate hairlines and sculpted terminals suggest refinement and a slightly theatrical elegance, balancing formality with a hint of charm.
The design appears intended to evoke a classical, high-contrast serif tradition while adding distinctive terminal flourishes for personality and memorability in display use.
In text, the strong verticals create a clear typographic backbone while the fine serifs and terminals add sparkle at larger sizes. The figures appear similarly contrasted and stylized, with curving terminals that harmonize with the lowercase’s ball-ended details.
