A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and prominent wedge-like terminals that flare at stroke endings. The uppercase shows a stately, classical construction with generous bowls and crisp triangular serifs, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable rhythm with single-storey a and g and a notably beaked, calligraphic feel in letters like c, e, f, and t. Curves are smooth and full, joins are clean, and counters stay open despite the thin connections. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing strong verticals with fine, cutting hairlines and pointed details.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine titles, section headers, fashion and beauty campaigns, premium packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck lines where its high contrast and crisp terminals have room to breathe, rather than dense, small-size text blocks.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining refinement with a slightly theatrical edge from the razor-thin hairlines and flared, blade-like terminals. It reads as premium and fashion-forward, with enough classical formality to feel established rather than trendy.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a refined, contemporary-didone-like impact through extreme contrast and flared wedge serifs, creating a strong sense of elegance and hierarchy. The consistent sharp terminals and sculpted curves suggest an emphasis on dramatic display presence while retaining familiar serif proportions for legibility in short passages.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and sharp points, so it visually rewards generous sizes and careful reproduction. The alternation between very thick stems and extremely thin connecting strokes creates a lively sparkle across words, especially in mixed-case settings.
