A very heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced vertical stress and strong thick–thin modulation. Hairlines are extremely fine against dense main stems, and serifs are crisp and largely unbracketed, giving a sharp, cut-paper finish. Many forms show soft ball terminals and teardrop-like ends (notably in the lowercase), adding a slightly ornamental, contemporary twist to an otherwise classical structure. Proportions feel broad and confident, with compact counters in letters like a, e, s, and a sturdy, blocky rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short-form copy where the high contrast and sharp serifs can shine without filling in. It works especially well for magazine/editorial design, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and attention-grabbing posters or title treatments.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, combining high-fashion elegance with a punchy, poster-like presence. The razor-thin hairlines and crisp serifs read as premium and cultured, while the heavy weight and rounded terminals inject a playful, slightly theatrical confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-like impact: maximal contrast, crisp serif detailing, and wide, assertive proportions, with added ball terminals to increase personality and memorability in display use.
In running text at large sizes, the extreme contrast and tight internal spaces create strong texture and dark color, with punctuation and dots appearing as small, distinct marks. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate connecting strokes and rounded terminals for a cohesive display set.
