A high-contrast serif with prominent slab-like serifs and a lively, idiosyncratic construction. Stems tend to be sturdy while curves and joins thin noticeably, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm. Many letters show ball or teardrop terminals, plus occasional cut-in notches and abrupt transitions that give an ink-trap-like texture. The overall silhouette reads compact and rounded in the bowls, with assertive horizontal slabs that create a strong baseline and cap-line presence.
Best suited to display contexts where its contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated—headlines, magazine or book titling, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but its decorative details make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The design feels witty and slightly eccentric—part vintage display, part editorial accent. Its pronounced serifs and terminal shapes add personality and a touch of theatricality, making text feel more characterful than neutral.
Likely designed to reinterpret slab-serifs with heightened contrast and expressive terminals, aiming for a memorable, character-driven voice rather than strict typographic neutrality.
The face maintains a consistent contrast pattern across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with especially distinctive treatment on letters like a, g, j, and w where the terminal details become a key identifying feature. In running text, the strong slabs and repeated ball terminals create a patterned texture that draws attention and can become visually busy at smaller sizes.
