A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, blade-like wedge serifs. The design uses sharp triangular joins and tapered terminals, with occasional cut-in notches that read like ink traps, and a slightly calligraphic stress in round letters. Uppercase forms feel spacious and sculptural, while the lowercase shows distinctive detailing (single-storey a, looped g, and a long, narrow f) that adds a decorative cadence. Numerals and several capitals feature stylized entry/exit strokes that create a carved, fashion-forward silhouette rather than a purely classical book face.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, brand marks, and packaging where its high contrast and stylized serifs can read large and crisp. It can also work for short editorial decks, pull quotes, and event posters where a luxurious but distinctive serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and cultivated, mixing classic high-fashion elegance with a slightly eccentric, theatrical edge. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast project luxury and confidence, while the quirky cut-ins and pointed detailing add attitude and memorability.
The design appears intended as a decorative, high-contrast serif that references modern Didone fashion typography while introducing sharper wedge serifs and cut-in details for a more contemporary, attention-grabbing presence.
In text settings, the rhythm is punchy: thick verticals dominate, and thin hairlines snap into pointed serifs, creating strong sparkle at larger sizes. Some letters have intentionally idiosyncratic construction (notably in S, J, Q, and the 2/3), which increases personality but can make long passages feel more display-oriented.
