A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, display-forward construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracketed, and many strokes end in distinctive teardrop/ball terminals that add weight and flourish. Curves are full and rounded with sharp, tapered joins, giving counters an elegant, carved quality; several forms (notably in S, J, g, and y) show expressive hooks and swooping finishes. Overall spacing reads generous in display sizes, with crisp edges and a lively rhythm created by alternating sharp wedges and rounded terminals.
Best suited to large-scale settings where the sharp contrast and ornamental terminals can be appreciated, such as headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, packaging, and identity work. It can also serve as an accent face for pull quotes or short editorial blurbs, pairing well with a calmer text serif or sans for extended reading.
The typeface conveys a dramatic, vintage-leaning elegance—part classic bookish serif, part theatrical headline style. Its bold presence and ornamental terminals suggest confidence and a slightly mischievous, storybook personality, suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than neutral reading.
The design appears intended to modernize classical serif cues with decorative, calligraphic terminal shapes, prioritizing personality and impact. Its consistent high contrast and signature teardrop endings suggest a deliberate effort to create a distinctive display serif for expressive titles and branding.
Uppercase forms feel stately and structured while lowercase introduces more flourish, creating a noticeable case contrast in tone. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with strong vertical stress and tapered, expressive details that keep the set visually consistent.
