A tall, condensed serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and hairline joins. Strokes are strongly vertical in emphasis, with crisp, tapered serifs that often flare into pointed terminals. Many capitals and several lowercase letters carry small ball terminals and curled, teardrop-like finials, giving the outlines a decorative, almost calligraphic snap. Counters are narrow and elongated, and the overall rhythm alternates between dense vertical stems and delicate hairlines, creating a sharp, high-fashion silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate hairlines and ornamental terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial titling, boutique branding, event materials, and elegant posters. It can work for short passages at larger sizes, but it performs most confidently in titles, pull quotes, and wordmarks rather than dense body copy.
The font projects a refined, theatrical personality—formal at a distance but playful up close thanks to its curled terminals and ball details. Its contrast and narrow proportions read as vintage display typography, evoking classic editorial headlines and ornamental signage with a slightly mischievous flourish.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-contrast serif voice with decorative, curled finishing strokes—combining classic Didone-like drama with ornamental details for standout display typography.
The numerals follow the same contrasty, upright construction, with several figures featuring curved hooks and ball terminals that match the letterforms. In continuous text, the strong verticals create a striped texture, while the fine hairlines add sparkle but can visually recede at smaller sizes or low-contrast reproduction.
