A sharply contrasted serif with a vertical, Didone-like build: firm, straight main stems paired with extremely thin hairlines and crisp, unbracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow joins and high-thin transitions that create a pronounced light/dark rhythm across words. Proportions feel display-leaning, with generous sidebearings and a clean, regular cadence in text; the numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, with delicate terminals and strong thick–thin alternation.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large-size editorial typography where its contrast and hairlines can remain crisp. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, invitations, and high-impact posters that benefit from an elegant, high-fashion typographic color.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, projecting a high-end, editorial voice. Its razor-thin details and poised symmetry read as sophisticated and formal, with a subtle sense of drama typical of fashion and magazine typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern classic display serif: emphasizing sharp contrast, vertical stress, and crisp finishing details to create a refined, premium look in editorial and brand-forward settings.
The design relies heavily on fine hairlines and sharp serifs, which heightens sparkle at larger sizes and increases sensitivity to reproduction conditions at smaller sizes. Round letters show clear vertical stress, and the overall texture alternates between bold verticals and near-threadlike connecting strokes.
