A display-oriented serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a sculpted, slightly flared construction with sharp triangular notches at joins and pointed interior corners that emphasize contrast. Round characters (C, O, G) are compact and weighty, while horizontals and serifs taper to fine needles, creating a tight, high-impact texture. Lowercase features a two-storey a, a compact e, and pronounced ball terminals (notably on f and some curves), with numerals that echo the same bold bowls and fine hairline details.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, cover lines, and short editorial statements where the high contrast can work as a graphic feature. It can also support premium branding and packaging—especially in contexts that benefit from a strong, elegant serif with dramatic rhythm—rather than extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is luxe and assertive, balancing classical elegance with a bold, poster-like presence. Its sharp contrasts and ornamental terminals give it a fashion-forward, theatrical feel rather than a quiet, bookish voice.
The design appears intended as a bold, high-fashion serif that amplifies contrast and sharp detailing for maximum visual punch. Its mix of classical proportions with sculptural terminals suggests a contemporary display serif aimed at distinctive editorial and brand typography.
At text sizes the hairline elements and tight apertures may visually close up, while at larger sizes the cut-in notches, ball terminals, and razor serifs become distinctive signature details. The design reads best when given ample size and spacing to let the fine strokes remain clear.
