A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic stress and sharply tapered joins. Strokes shift quickly from hairline-thin to heavy, producing crisp internal shapes and a lively rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into wedge-like forms, with several letters showing rounded ball terminals and teardrop-like endings. Curves are generously modeled (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls), while verticals remain firm and upright, giving the design a stately but animated texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book titling, and brand marks where its contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short bursts of text (introductions, decks, captions) when strong typographic character is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward presence. Its sharp contrast and ornamental terminals add a vintage sophistication that feels curated and premium rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif voice through heightened contrast and expressive terminals, balancing traditional proportions with display-oriented detailing for impactful, premium typography.
Uppercase forms read authoritative and slightly condensed by impression, while lowercase details (notably the ear/terminal treatments and the dotted i/j) add personality and a hint of flourish. Numerals echo the same contrast and sculpting, with stylized curves that keep them consistent with the letterforms.
