A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted stems that create a distinctly chiseled rhythm. Serifs are predominantly bracketed and wedge-like, with frequent teardrop/ball terminals and curled ear-like details on several lowercase forms. Capitals are broad and formal with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic modulation, tight apertures in places, and lively entry/exit strokes that add texture without tipping into italics. Numerals match the display-forward construction, mixing crisp hairline joins with heavy bowls and pronounced terminals for a cohesive, ornamental color.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and titling applications that benefit from a classic-but-expressive serif voice.
The font conveys a confident, editorial tone—polished, assertive, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp contrast and decorative terminals read as premium and fashion-leaning, with a classic foundation that suggests tradition rather than novelty.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif model with heightened contrast and decorative terminal work, delivering strong impact and elegance for editorial and branding settings while retaining familiar serif structure and proportions.
In running text the heavy verticals and fine hairlines create a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes where the tapered joins and bracketed serifs remain distinct. The more embellished lowercase details (notably curled terminals and ball-like endings) add personality, making it feel more like a headline serif than a quiet book face.
