A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and bold, rounded main strokes, creating a distinctly sculpted silhouette. Serifs and terminals often flare into wedge- and teardrop-like forms, giving many letters a subtly calligraphic, brush-cut feel rather than purely rational construction. Curves are generous and smooth, while joins and inflections show deliberate modulation, producing lively texture in both capitals and lowercase. Figures follow the same display-minded contrast and include distinctive curved terminals that read clearly at large sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, posters, and brand marks where high contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short pulls, deck lines, and premium packaging text, while extended small-size reading is less ideal due to the delicate hairlines and expressive detailing.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone—polished and dramatic, but with a witty, slightly eccentric edge. Its animated terminals and strong stroke contrast add a sense of luxury and theatricality, making text feel curated rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a Didone-like high-contrast serif through more ornamental, calligraphic terminal work, balancing classic editorial sophistication with a decorative, attention-grabbing personality for modern display typography.
Spacing and rhythm read best when set with breathing room, as the sharp hairlines and flared terminals create sparkle and occasional visual “hooks” at the ends of strokes. The uppercase has a formal backbone, while the lowercase introduces more character through lively curves and terminal shapes, producing an expressive mixed-case voice.
