A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stress, pairing sharp, tapered stems with soft, rounded bowls. Serifs are refined and often feel more flared than bracketed, with frequent teardrop/ball terminals and occasional incised-looking joins that give strokes a sculpted, cut-by-hand quality. Capitals are elegant and narrow-to-moderate in proportion, while lowercase forms show more personality through looping descenders and lively terminals. Numerals echo the display intent, using dramatic contrast and ornamental curves that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where the high contrast and ornamental terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short-to-medium editorial setting in high-quality print, but it’s most convincing when given generous size, leading, and clean reproduction conditions.
The overall tone is glamorous and editorial, with a slightly mischievous, storybook flair coming from the ball terminals and swashy details. It feels polished and high-end, but not purely austere—there’s a decorative, theatrical undercurrent that makes the text feel curated and expressive.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif vocabulary with added decorative terminals and sculptural stroke cuts, producing a distinctive display face that feels both refined and characterful.
Texture in paragraphs alternates between delicate hairline connections and bold vertical anchors, creating a rhythmic sparkle typical of contrast-heavy display serifs. Several glyphs feature distinctive interior droplets/ink-trap-like notches and looped forms, which add signature character but can increase visual busyness at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs.
