A high-contrast serif with crisp, pointed serifs and frequent spurs that appear as forked or beaked terminals on stems and joins. Curves transition quickly from thick to hairline, producing bright interior counters and a sparkling page color, while horizontals and cross-strokes stay comparatively thin. The letterforms feel slightly calligraphic in their modulation, with occasional wedge-like cut-ins and tapered ends that add bite and texture. Uppercase proportions read formal and stable, while the lowercase keeps a readable, moderate x-height and shows lively detailing in bowls and shoulders. Figures follow the same sharp, contrasty logic, with elegant hairline turns and pronounced thick–thin rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, cover titling, and branding where the high contrast and spurred terminals can read as intentional detail. It also works for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing, delivering a classic, high-fashion mood.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—classical in structure but with ornamental sharpness that feels assertive and expressive. It suggests editorial sophistication and a slightly baroque flavor, lending text a sense of ceremony and high style without tipping into novelty.
The design appears intended to marry traditional serif proportions with ornamental, spurred terminals and strong thick–thin modulation, creating a distinctive editorial voice. It aims for elegance and impact—recognizably classical, but sharpened for modern display and identity use.
In longer sample lines the contrast and pointed detailing create a vivid, flickering texture; this gives strong presence at display sizes and a distinctly “engraved” feel. The forked/spurred terminals are a consistent signature across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, adding character even in straightforward settings.
