A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and swelling, tapered strokes that end in pronounced flared wedges rather than conventional bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and open, while terminals frequently pinch to sharp points, creating a crisp, cut-paper feel. Capitals have elegant proportions with occasional exaggerated joins and notches (notably in diagonals and crotches), and the lowercase mixes classical forms with stylized details—single-storey a, compact bowls, and distinctive pointed terminals. Numerals follow the same contrasty, sculpted logic, with narrow waistlines and blade-like finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other large-size editorial settings where its contrast and stylized terminals can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, slightly quirky signature, while extended body text may feel busy due to the sharp detailing and high-contrast rhythm.
The overall tone is poised and fashion-forward, but with a playful, slightly eccentric edge. Its sharp terminals and ornamental flare suggest boutique luxury and theatrical sophistication, lending a sense of drama without becoming heavy or blackletter-like.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions with decorative, flared terminals and sculpted stroke modulation, creating a distinctive display face that feels both elegant and intentionally unconventional.
Spacing and rhythm feel display-oriented: the spurs, wedges, and internal notches create strong micro-shapes that become a prominent texture in words. Round letters (O, C, G, e) read cleanly at size, while more intricate letters (M, W, m) produce eye-catching dark accents from their pointed joins and clustered strokes.
