A high-contrast serif with crisp vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs are finely bracketed and often end in rounded, teardrop-like terminals, giving many strokes a lightly calligraphic finish. Capitals feel narrow and stately with long verticals and restrained curves, while the lowercase maintains a tall, readable x-height and smooth, slightly tapered joins. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal logic, with elegant curves and occasional curled details that add character without becoming overly ornate.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where its contrast and terminal details can read clearly. It can also support refined branding and packaging that wants a classic serif voice with a touch of eccentricity. In longer passages it can work when set with comfortable size and spacing to accommodate the high contrast and narrow internal spaces.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a subtle whimsical flair from the ball terminals and gently curled finishes. It evokes an old-world, editorial sensibility—formal enough for traditional settings, but personable and slightly decorative in display sizes.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with decorative, ball-terminal finishing to create a distinctive yet broadly usable text-and-display face. It prioritizes an elegant silhouette and a memorable rhythm, aiming for sophistication with a lightly playful twist.
Rhythm is driven by strong verticals and tight counters, creating a steady, column-like texture in text. Distinctive terminal treatments (notably on letters with hooks and tails) add a recognizable signature that becomes more pronounced as size increases.
