A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and razor-thin hairlines, creating a crisp, sculptural rhythm across text. Serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, with pointed terminals and wedge-like entry/exit strokes that read cleanly at display sizes. Counters are relatively open and the spacing feels generous, supporting a bright, airy color despite the heavy main strokes. The italic is not shown; the roman forms stay upright with a pronounced vertical stress and slightly irregular letter widths that add a lively, crafted texture.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, posters, book covers, and brand marks where the contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes or section openers, but the fine hairlines and intense modulation suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a premium, editorial voice with a hint of vintage sophistication. Its sharp contrast and elegant details feel ceremonial and attention-grabbing rather than casual, lending a sense of authority and polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a Didone-like display serif: commanding verticals, extreme thick–thin contrast, and crisp terminals engineered to look luxurious and impactful in prominent typography.
Lowercase forms show distinctive, calligraphy-influenced details—such as a lively ear and beak on the “g,” a curled descender on “y,” and a narrow, incisive “t” with a delicate crossbar. Numerals follow the same display-oriented logic, with emphatic thick–thin transitions and decorative curves that favor character over neutrality.
