A high-contrast serif with tall, upright proportions and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Stems and main curves are weighty and sculptural, while serifs and connecting strokes taper to fine hairlines that often break into pointed, chiseled terminals. Several glyphs show irregular cuts and tiny voids along joins and curves, giving an inked or lightly eroded impression without losing the underlying Didone-like structure. Counters are relatively tight in places and the texture is bold, producing a striking, black-on-white page color in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and culture headlines, posters, and brand marks where contrast and character are assets. It can also work for packaging and event materials that benefit from a bold, editorial voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is dramatic and stylized, blending classic editorial elegance with a slightly unruly, hand-worn edge. It feels luxe and attention-seeking rather than quiet or purely traditional, suited to statements that want both refinement and bite.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through a more expressive, cut-and-ink aesthetic. The goal seems to be maximum visual impact—retaining the prestige cues of a refined serif while adding distinctive roughened interruptions for personality and memorability.
The design shows a mix of crisp geometry and intentionally uneven details, which creates sparkle in headlines but can introduce visual noise at small sizes. The letterforms remain clearly serifed and vertical in stance, with distinctive, sharp-ended strokes and occasional notch-like interruptions that read as deliberate texture.
