A crisp, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and dominant thick stems. Serifs are sharp and clean with little visible bracketing, giving forms a precise, chiseled finish. The design shows a slightly wide stance and clear width variation across letters, with a relatively high waistline in many lowercase shapes and neatly controlled curves. Distinctive ball terminals and teardrop-like details appear in several glyphs (notably on letters such as a, c, f, g, j, and y), adding a decorative sparkle without becoming overly ornate. Numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with thin cross-strokes and sculpted curves that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It works well for pull quotes, posters, and large-format wordmarks, and is less ideal for small UI text or long passages at modest sizes where hairlines may recede.
The tone is polished and dramatic, combining elegance with a fashion-forward, editorial bite. Its sharp hairlines and sculptural thick–thin rhythm feel premium and formal, with just enough flourish in the terminals to suggest sophistication and display intent rather than everyday utility.
The design appears intended as a modern high-contrast serif for display-led typography, pairing classic Didone-like structure with crisp terminals and selective ball details to create an upscale, attention-grabbing voice.
In text settings the extreme contrast creates a lively rhythm and a shimmering texture, especially where hairlines meet dense verticals. The more decorative terminals in the lowercase can add personality but also increase visual activity, making spacing and size choices important for clean reading.
