A decorative display serif with sculpted, high-contrast forms and extremely thin hairlines against heavy vertical stems. The serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, with needle-like terminals and occasional ball terminals (notably in the lower-case). Several glyphs show distinctive cut-ins and wedge-like notches where strokes meet, giving the shapes a carved, stylized feel rather than purely classical construction. Round letters (O, Q, o, e) emphasize thick–thin modulation and tight apertures; diagonals in A, V, W, X read bold and graphic. Overall spacing and proportions are compact and headline-oriented, with numerals matching the same dramatic contrast and strong silhouette.
Best used at large sizes for headlines, posters, magazine cover lines, and branding where the extreme contrast and delicate hairlines can be appreciated. It can also work for logotypes and short pull quotes, especially in fashion, beauty, nightlife, and cultural promotion contexts.
The tone is elegant and assertive, leaning toward high-fashion editorial energy with a touch of theatrical flair. Its sharp hairlines and stylized joins create a sense of luxury and drama, suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed as a statement display serif that riffs on Didone-style contrast while introducing more sculptural, decorative cuts and terminals to increase distinctiveness and impact. The emphasis appears to be on striking word shapes and a premium, editorial presence.
The design’s personality comes from its unconventional joins and terminal treatments, which add visual texture and a slightly eccentric, crafted quality in words. In longer text blocks the thin connecting hairlines and tight counters become prominent, reinforcing its role as a statement face.
