A sculpted display serif with tall proportions, narrow apertures, and a strongly vertical rhythm. Thick main strokes meet extremely fine hairlines, creating crisp, high-tension joins and pointed terminals. Serifs are small, sharp, and largely unbracketed, with wedge-like feet and beak-like finishing on some letters. The lowercase shows compact counters and distinctive forms (notably a looped, descending “g” and a curled “j”), while the numerals mix sturdy verticals with delicate, calligraphic curves for a formal, attention-grabbing texture.
Best used for large sizes where the hairlines can read cleanly—headlines, deck copy, magazine display, fashion branding, premium packaging, and poster titling. It can also work for short pull quotes or mastheads where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a fashion/editorial sensibility with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp contrast and tight counters feel refined and assertive, suited to statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, high-fashion display serif that modernizes classical Didone-like contrast with sharper terminals and a compact, dark overall color. It prioritizes elegance and drama for branding and editorial applications where strong typographic presence is needed.
In continuous setting the letterforms create a dense, dark color with sparkling highlights from the hairlines, especially around diagonals and curved joins. Rounded letters (like O/C/G) emphasize vertical stress, while the punctuation and figures reinforce a classic, print-forward character.
