A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairlines that taper into sharp, unbracketed serifs. Curves are clean and controlled, with crisp terminals and tight, sculpted joins that give the letterforms a polished, engraved feel. Proportions favor strong capitals and compact, sturdy lowercase shapes; round letters (O, C, G) show a clear thick–thin rhythm, while diagonals (V, W, X) resolve into needle-like apexes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender verticals and more substantial curves where needed for balance.
Well-suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book or album covers, and high-end promotional materials. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads where its contrast can add hierarchy and sophistication, but it is most convincing when used at larger sizes.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—formal and fashion-forward—combining classical elegance with a distinctly dramatic contrast. Its sharp details and glossy rhythm read as premium and ceremonial, with a slightly theatrical, display-oriented presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-like elegance: maximum thick–thin drama, crisp finishing, and a confident, premium voice tailored to editorial and brand-forward settings.
In the text sample, the intense contrast and thin hairlines create strong sparkle and a lively texture, especially around punctuation and tight counters. The hairline joins and pointed terminals suggest it will look best when given sufficient size and clean reproduction so the finest strokes remain intact.
