A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals, giving a crisp, engraved feel. Strokes frequently finish in subtly flared, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs, and curves transition quickly from thin to thick, especially in rounds like O/C and the bowls of a/b/p. The proportions read on the wide side with generous internal counters, while the lowercase shows a conventional, readable structure and a two-storey g. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin joins and strong main strokes, producing a polished, display-ready rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and luxury-forward branding where contrast and sharp detail can be showcased. It can work for short blocks of editorial text at comfortable sizes and with ample leading, but it shines most in display settings such as posters, packaging fronts, and refined identity systems.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, balancing classical bookish cues with a fashion/editorial sharpness. Its sheen comes from the extreme thin–thick play and pointed terminals, which feel refined and slightly theatrical rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern-didone-like sense of sophistication with flared, calligraphic terminals that add character and bite. It prioritizes visual impact, sparkle, and a premium tone while keeping letterforms familiar enough for conventional Latin text setting.
At larger sizes the hairlines and delicate joins become a defining feature, creating sparkle along word shapes and punctuation. In dense text the contrast and tight apertures in some letters can feel intense, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence readability and color.
