A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The serifs are sharp and flared rather than blocky, and many joins pinch into narrow waists that emphasize the thick–thin rhythm. Bowls and rounds read as smooth and full, while diagonals and cross-strokes taper to fine points, creating a lively, sparkling texture. Proportions feel generous and display-oriented, with pronounced vertical stress and confident, steady caps.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, posters, and brand marks where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging copy when set at comfortable sizes and with measured tracking to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast give it a refined, slightly provocative edge that reads as premium and attention-seeking in headlines.
The design appears intended as a modern display serif that amplifies classical Didone-style contrast with more angular, wedge-cut finishing. Its detailing prioritizes visual impact and sophistication over neutral, text-first restraint.
Small details—like pointed beaks, tapered crossbars, and tight internal pinch points—add character and movement, but also make the design look best when given enough size and spacing to breathe. The numerals follow the same high-contrast, chiseled logic, supporting a cohesive typographic palette for display settings.
