A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, vertical stress, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed in feel, giving the outlines a crisp, cut-paper finish. Capitals are tall and stately with wide bowls and strong verticals, while the lowercase shows compact, sculpted forms with a two-storey a and g, a pointed, calligraphic feel in the s, and delicate linking strokes in letters like n and m. Numerals mix strong vertical stems with thin cross strokes and elegant curves, creating a formal, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to large-size applications where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated, such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, brand wordmarks, premium packaging, and event/poster titling. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the fine strokes suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The tone is polished and high-end, with a runway/editorial confidence and a slightly theatrical, poster-like drama. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing communicate elegance and precision more than warmth or neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary Didone-like display voice: bold, glamorous letterforms with razor-thin details and a strong vertical rhythm for impactful, upscale typography.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally varied between wide, open letters (like O and Q) and tighter, denser lowercase, producing a lively typographic color at larger sizes. Thin strokes become extremely delicate in counters and joins, reinforcing its refined, showcase character.
