A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a distinctly “high-waisted” rhythm across words. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals, giving the forms a crisp, carved look. Counters tend to be compact and the interior shapes feel deliberately stylized, with several letters showing distinctive teardrop/lozenge-like internal cut details that read as ornamental rather than purely utilitarian. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a lively, display-oriented texture rather than a strictly uniform text color.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, branding, packaging, and poster typography where its contrast and ornament can read cleanly. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set large with generous spacing, but its fine hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone: polished and luxurious, but with a theatrical edge created by its extreme contrast and decorative internal cuts. It feels poised and formal, with a slightly eccentric, boutique character that makes it memorable at first glance.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif impression while adding a distinctive ornamental signature through stylized internal counters and tapered terminals. It prioritizes dramatic contrast and recognizability for display-led typography over neutral, purely text-driven regularity.
In sample text, the thin connecting strokes and tight apertures create sparkle and strong black/white interplay, while the ornamental counters in letters such as O/Q and select lowercase add a signature motif. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, with bold main strokes and delicate hairlines, making them visually consistent for display settings.
