A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a crisp, cut-paper finish. The capitals are tall and stately, with narrow internal counters and strong thick–thin modulation; diagonals and curves stay taut and controlled. Lowercase forms show a slightly compact rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and thin crossbars and joins that emphasize a bright, refined page color in text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale packaging where contrast can be shown clearly. It can also work for short bursts of text (captions, decks, and invitations) when set at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and formal, projecting a luxury and editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine detailing read as sophisticated and high-end, with a classic, magazine-like voice.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern Didone-like sophistication: crisp verticals, delicate serifs, and dramatic modulation aimed at high-impact, premium-looking typography.
The design relies on very fine hairlines in letters like E/F/T and in the diagonals of V/W/X, which creates striking sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that visually match the text forms.
