A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, producing a crisp, sculpted color on the page. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, while curves show a vertical, Didone-like stress and tight joins. Capitals are stately and open with wide bowls and delicate terminals; the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact apertures and finely cut finishing strokes. Numerals echo the same contrast and precision, with clean verticals and hairline crossbars that read best when given sufficient size and resolution.
Well suited for headlines, deck copy, and large-size editorial settings where its contrast and fine serifs can remain intact. It works especially well for magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, book or film titling, and other applications seeking a refined, premium voice.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward feel. Its gleaming contrast and sharp details convey luxury and tradition, leaning more toward display sophistication than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to capture a modern take on classical high-contrast serif lettering: dramatic modulation, precise hairlines, and an elegant, composed stance. The wide set and clean vertical rhythm suggest a focus on impactful display typography while retaining enough structure to support short passages.
In running text, the extreme hairlines and small internal details can appear fragile at smaller sizes or on low-resolution outputs, while the wide set and generous counters give it an airy, upscale presence in headlines. Pairing with a sturdier companion for captions and UI can help balance its delicacy.
