A high-contrast serif with vertical emphasis, featuring weighty main strokes paired with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and crisp, and many joins and terminals show pronounced teardrop/ball-like swelling and tapered cut-ins that create a carved, ornamental texture. Proportions lean broad and open, with generous counters and a steady upright stance, producing strong, poster-like rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, posters, album/film titling, and packaging where a luxurious, high-contrast look is desirable. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and mastheads where the fine hairlines and decorative joins have room to render cleanly.
This typeface projects an editorial, fashion-forward confidence with a touch of theatrical drama. The sharp contrast and sculpted terminals give it a refined, high-end tone, while the rounded, almost playful swelling in certain strokes adds a distinctive, slightly whimsical flair. Overall it feels assertive, stylish, and built for attention.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact at large sizes through extreme contrast, sharp detailing, and distinctive terminal treatments. Its wide, open forms and emphatic thick-to-thin transitions suggest a focus on striking silhouettes and memorable word shapes rather than understated text neutrality.
The sample text shows strong black-and-white rhythm with delicate hairline links that create sparkle between heavy stems. The numerals and caps maintain the same sculpted contrast, supporting cohesive, high-impact titling across letters and figures.
