A display-oriented serif with strong vertical emphasis, razor-thin hairlines, and large, rounded bowls. The letterforms use sharp wedge and hairline serifs paired with pronounced cut-ins and notches at joins, creating a carved, high-sheen look. Counters are generous and often near-circular, while terminals frequently resolve into teardrops or small ball-like details. Overall spacing and rhythm feel open for such a heavy face, with crisp edges and a consistent pattern of dramatic thick–thin modulation across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to large-scale settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated: magazine titles, fashion/editorial headlines, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for premium packaging and short callouts where a dramatic serif voice is desired, but it is less suited to long, small-size reading environments.
The tone is assertive and glamorous, reading as editorial and fashion-forward rather than bookish. Its sculpted notches and delicate hairlines add a slightly theatrical, boutique feel—stylish, attention-seeking, and modern-classical at once.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-impact serif for display typography, combining classical high-contrast structure with distinctive cut-in detailing and decorative terminals to stand apart in branding and editorial use.
In the text sample, the hairline elements and sharp interior cut-ins are key identifiers and can become fragile at small sizes or on low-resolution output, while the dense vertical strokes create strong headline color. Numerals echo the same motif with prominent curves and fine entry/exit strokes, supporting a cohesive display palette.
