This serif shows extreme thick–thin modulation with a strongly vertical axis: dense, dark stems are paired with very fine hairlines and needle-like serifs. Serifs are unbracketed and crisp, with long, flat horizontals and delicate connecting strokes that create a polished, high-contrast rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel display-oriented, with broad bowls and sharp joins; several forms (notably in the diagonals and curves) reveal tapered terminals and knife-edge transitions. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height but retains dramatic contrast, with distinctive ball/teardrop terminals and a tight, elegant cadence in text settings.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty headlines, premium branding, and striking poster titles where high contrast can shine. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but extended small-size text may lose detail due to the very fine hairlines.
The tone is poised and high-end, delivering a runway/editorial feel with pronounced drama and sophistication. Its razor-fine details and sculpted curves suggest formality and glamour rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to evoke contemporary Didone-style elegance: maximizing contrast and crisp, architectural serifs to create a luxurious, attention-grabbing voice for editorial and brand-forward applications.
Large counters and clean interior spaces help the heavy verticals read clearly, but the hairline horizontals and thin joins become visually fragile at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same display logic, with bold main strokes and fine finishing details that emphasize a polished, boutique look.
