A narrow, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and sharp, wedge-like serifs that often resolve into small spurs along stems. Curves are smooth and taut, with vertical stress and crisp transitions from thick main strokes to needle-thin terminals. The letterforms feel tightly drawn and slightly idiosyncratic, with occasional forked or hooked details on ends and mid-stem points that add bite without turning into overt ornament. Spacing appears compact, giving text a tall, dense rhythm suited to display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine settings, fashion and beauty identities, and poster typography where the high contrast can read cleanly. It can also work for branding marks and short pulls or deck copy, especially when given ample size and breathing room to protect the thin serifs and tight rhythm.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its razor-thin details and sculpted serifs convey luxury and precision, while the spurred terminals introduce a subtle, slightly gothic tension that keeps it from feeling purely classical.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-didone style impact—tall, polished, and high-contrast—while differentiating itself through spurred, forked terminals that add a bespoke, slightly edgy signature for display typography.
In the sample text, the extreme contrast and fine serifs create striking sparkle at large sizes, while the tight proportions and sharp joins can become visually busy as lines get dense. Rounded letters like O/Q show strong vertical emphasis, and several lowercase forms carry distinctive spurs that add character in headlines.
