A high-contrast serif with a distinctly decorative, calligraphic construction. Strokes move from very thin hairlines to heavy, sculpted curves, with flared, wedge-like serifs and frequent ball or teardrop terminals. Curves are lively and slightly asymmetric, giving counters and joins a carved, ink-driven feel rather than a strictly geometric one. Proportions are moderately narrow with a steady rhythm, while a few capitals and numerals show pronounced swelling and tapered entries that add a display-forward texture in text.
Best used for headlines and short to medium display settings where the high contrast and animated terminals can be appreciated. It suits posters, book and editorial covers, brand marks/wordmarks, and premium packaging where a vintage, expressive serif texture is desirable.
The overall tone is refined but playful: it reads as elegant and vintage-leaning, with a theatrical flourish that feels suited to expressive headlines. The pronounced contrast and terminal shapes give it a slightly whimsical, storybook or boutique-luxury character rather than a purely classical book face.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional high-contrast serif through a more ornamental, calligraphy-informed lens. By emphasizing flared serifs, rounded terminals, and sculpted curves, it aims to deliver an expressive, memorable display serif that still maintains readable letter skeletons.
In the sample text, the dark, curvy strokes create a strong typographic color and a noticeable sparkle from the hairlines. The letterforms maintain consistent contrast and terminal logic across cases, with numerals that share the same swelling curves and tapered finishes, reinforcing a cohesive decorative voice.
