A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines against heavy main strokes. Serifs are crisp and relatively unbracketed, often reading as fine wedges that snap into the stems, while many curves finish in teardrop/ball-like terminals that add a distinctive, sculpted edge. Proportions are broad with a steady, upright stance; counters are rounded and generous, and the overall rhythm is punchy with prominent thick–thin transitions. The numerals follow the same contrast logic with weighty bodies and delicate finishing strokes, producing a bold, poster-ready texture.
Best suited for headlines, magazine display, book covers, and statement branding where high contrast and sculpted terminals can be showcased. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, particularly in editorial layouts that benefit from a classic-yet-expressive serif.
The tone is editorial and theatrical—confident, slightly vintage, and built to command attention. Its pronounced contrast and ornamental terminals create a sense of luxury and drama while staying rooted in traditional serif formality.
Likely designed as a display serif that amplifies classical forms through extreme thick–thin contrast and decorative terminal shaping, aiming for strong shelf impact and an upscale editorial presence.
At text sizes the fine hairlines and sharp joins can create sparkling highlights and a textured color, especially in dense settings; it feels most at home when it can breathe with ample size and spacing. The ball/teardrop terminals in letters like C, J, a, c, and s give the face a signature voice and help differentiate it from more restrained modern serifs.
