A high-contrast serif with sculpted, swelling main strokes and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often reading as hairline wedges, and several lowercase forms show pronounced ball terminals (notably on g, j, y). The shapes lean toward vertical stress with taut curves and tight join behavior, producing a crisp, glossy texture at display sizes. Counters are compact relative to the heavy stems, and spacing feels intentionally generous for a bold, poster-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture layouts, premium branding, packaging, and large-format posters. It can work for short pull quotes or section headers where its contrast and fine details have room to resolve, rather than dense small-size text.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its stark thick–thin contrast and refined terminals create a sense of luxury and formality, while the rounded balls add a touch of playfulness and personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic serif letterforms, emphasizing contrast, precision, and a confident vertical presence. It prioritizes impact and refinement, using hairline detailing and sculptural terminals to create a distinctive headline voice.
Uppercase letters read stately and monumental, while the lowercase introduces more character through curled terminals and more animated descenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and hairline details that will reward larger sizes and clean reproduction.
