A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems, extremely fine hairlines, and crisp, pointed serifs. Curves are sculpted and tightly drawn, producing glossy, teardrop-like counters in letters such as C, G, and S. The uppercase reads stately and broad with ample inner space, while the lowercase shows compact, editorial proportions with a two-storey a and g and distinctly sharp, tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant thin entry strokes and bold main forms that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited for display work such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format posters where its thin strokes can remain intact. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts, especially with careful size and contrast management in print or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classical refinement with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its razor-thin details and clean, high-contrast rhythm convey prestige and intentionality, suited to high-end, image-conscious typography.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern high-fashion Didone-like impression: maximum contrast, crisp refinement, and a confident, upright rhythm that looks authoritative in large sizes. The set prioritizes elegance and impact over utilitarian text robustness.
The design relies on delicate joins and hairline horizontals, so it benefits from generous sizing and comfortable spacing to preserve its fine detail. The ampersand and punctuation in the text sample reinforce the sharp, cut-paper quality of the terminals and the controlled, vertical calligraphic stress.
