A razor‑thin, high‑contrast serif with strong vertical stress and needlelike hairlines. Stems are firm and straight while joins and terminals taper into sharp points, creating a crisp, engraved feel. The capitals are tall and elegant with generous interior space, and the curves (C, O, Q, S) are smoothly tensioned with delicate thins that nearly disappear. Lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact bowls and narrow apertures; the long, thin ascenders/descenders and fine serifs add an airy rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender diagonals and hairline horizontals that read as sophisticated display figures.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and large-format titling, especially in editorial and fashion contexts. It also fits luxury identities, premium packaging, and elegant invitations where the high-contrast detailing can remain crisp and intentional.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a poised, editorial confidence. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing evoke fashion covers, luxury branding, and high-end print where elegance and sharpness are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif lettering—maximizing elegance through tall proportions, precise hairlines, and sculpted terminals for impactful display use.
At text sizes the extreme thins become a defining texture, so the design reads best when given room, high resolution, and sufficient contrast against the background. The pointed terminals and hairline serifs create a distinctly modern, couture-leaning Didone impression while maintaining a clean, upright posture.
