A sharp, display-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, knife-like wedge serifs. The letterforms show strong vertical stress, narrow hairlines, and swollen main stems that create striking black-and-white patterning. Curves often finish in rounded ball terminals (notably in several lowercase forms), while junctions and beak-like details add a slightly mannered, sculpted feel. Proportions are broadly classical with a moderate x-height, but the overall texture is dense and highly stylized, emphasizing silhouette and contrast over text neutrality.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and large-scale typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can work well for fashion/editorial design, luxury branding, event posters, and packaging where an expressive serif voice is desired. For extended reading at small sizes, its fine hairlines and dense contrast suggest more cautious use.
The font conveys a glamorous, high-drama tone with a hint of vintage refinement. Its sharp hairlines and emphatic serifs feel couture and editorial, while the rounded terminals introduce a playful, theatrical flourish. Overall it reads as confident, premium, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that merges classical letterform foundations with decorative terminal and serif treatments. Its goal is to create immediate visual impact and a refined, stylized personality for display typography rather than quiet, utilitarian text setting.
In the sample text, the face maintains a strong rhythm at large sizes, with distinctive character shapes and energetic punctuation (including a notably decorative ampersand). Numerals and capitals share the same high-impact contrast and sharply cut finishing, reinforcing a cohesive display voice.
