A decorative serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Letterforms mix tall, sculpted capitals with lowercase shapes that lean into curving strokes, teardrop/ball terminals, and occasional spiral-like details, creating a lively, irregular rhythm across words. Counters are often small and tightly pinched by heavy verticals, while horizontals and entry/exit strokes taper sharply, producing a sparkling texture at display sizes. Numerals echo the same high-contrast construction with elegant tapering and pronounced stroke endings.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, titles, and logo-like wordmarks where its high contrast and ornamental details remain clear. It can also work for premium packaging and event collateral when used with generous tracking and ample size, while extended paragraphs will likely feel visually dense.
The overall tone feels high-fashion and theatrical, combining classic luxury cues with a playful, slightly quirky flourish. Its ornate terminals and contrast create a sense of drama and sophistication, while the swashy details add personality and charm.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a high-contrast, fashion-oriented serif through a more decorative lens, emphasizing expressive terminals and distinctive internal curls to create memorability in display settings.
In running text the strong contrast and decorative terminals create a busy, patterned color, with some letters showing distinctive internal curls that read as intentional stylistic signatures. The wide set and prominent capitals make it especially suited to short, spacious lines where the shapes can breathe.
