A condensed display serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical, Didone-like stress. Stems are heavy and rectangular while hairlines and serifs collapse to razor-thin strokes, creating a sharp, high-gloss rhythm. Many glyphs show stylized cut-ins and interior notches that read like deliberate ink traps or engraved breaks, plus occasional ball terminals and teardrop joins in the lowercase. The overall color is dark and assertive, with tight counters and compact proportions that emphasize verticality and punch.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, mastheads, posters, and brand marks where the extreme contrast and fine hairlines can be preserved. It works well for editorial and cultural applications that benefit from a glamorous, statement-making serif and can be paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The font conveys a dramatic, fashion-forward tone—confident, slightly decadent, and theatrical. Its sharp contrast and ornamental quirks feel suited to statements and headlines rather than quiet text, giving copy a curated, high-style personality.
Likely intended as a high-impact display serif that blends classic high-contrast structure with stylized cut details and decorative terminals. The design prioritizes visual drama and recognizability, aiming to create a distinctive headline voice with a refined yet assertive finish.
The italic-like energy comes from pointed joins, clipped curves, and occasional swashy terminals rather than any slant. Numerals and capitals appear built for impact, with distinctive internal striping/cut details that become a key part of the texture at larger sizes.
