A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and prominent, sculpted vertical stems. Serifs are fine and sharp, often slightly bracketed, giving the outlines a cut, chiseled feel rather than a soft pen-drawn one. Capitals appear tall and statuesque with narrow internal apertures and a strong vertical rhythm, while lowercase forms stay compact with a relatively moderate x-height. Curves show a clear vertical stress, and several joins and terminals resolve into pointed, wedge-like shapes that add a distinctive, decorative edge without turning into a slab or rounded treatment.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and large-scale typography where the contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated. It fits magazine layouts, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster work, and can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments where a refined but striking voice is needed.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, with a sense of drama and polish typical of display serifs used in fashion and culture contexts. Its crisp contrast and sharp terminals read as confident and contemporary, while the classic proportions keep it anchored in traditional bookish elegance.
The design appears intended as a display-forward serif that amplifies classical Didone-like contrast with sharpened, decorative terminals for added character. It prioritizes impact and sophistication in larger sizes, offering a distinctive silhouette for editorial and brand-facing typography.
In text-size settings the thin hairlines and tight counters can visually sparkle and darken unevenly, while at larger sizes the distinctive wedges and crisp serifs become a key part of the personality. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and feel built for headings rather than dense tables.
