Melancholy Display Typeface

This Neoclassical typeface, inspired by Didot, features hairline strokes, stark contrast, and narrow, sharp shapes perfect for display use. Designed primarily for all-caps applications (with both upper and lowercase available), it boasts distinctive visual flairs in its serifs and terminals—especially in letters like C, K, E, and L—and a unique non-condensed O with a star accent that instantly catches the eye.
