A high-contrast serif with sharp wedge-like terminals and delicately bracketed serifs that taper into thin hairlines. Stems are sturdy and vertical, while curves and joins show a subtly calligraphic modulation, with occasional teardrop-like balls and hooked entry/exit strokes in letters such as J, g, y, and some numerals. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal spacing, while the lowercase shows more movement through curled terminals and lively bowls, creating a varied rhythm across words. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal logic, mixing strong verticals with thin connecting strokes and expressive curves.
Best suited for display roles such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, pull quotes, and brand marks that want a classic serif voice with extra character. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but the high contrast and lively terminals will be most effective where detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a touch of theatrical flourish from the curled terminals and ball details. It reads as confident and cultivated—suited to refined, slightly dramatic typography rather than neutral utility. The italic-like gestures in otherwise upright forms add a boutique, fashion-editorial energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif foundation augmented with decorative, calligraphic cues—creating a recognizable display face that feels both traditional and distinctive. Its mix of crisp serifs and curled terminals suggests an aim toward elegant editorial typography with a slightly boutique personality.
In text, the strong thick–thin contrast and pointed serifs create crisp word shapes, while the more decorative lowercase details become increasingly noticeable at larger sizes. The design balances formal structure with ornamental moments, giving headlines a distinctive signature without becoming overly ornamental.
