A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and crisp, unbracketed serifs. The proportions are elegant and slightly condensed in feel, with tall capitals and compact lowercase forms that maintain a steady baseline rhythm. Curves are clean and taut (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while joins and terminals stay sharp and controlled, giving the design a polished, print-oriented sheen. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with slender stems and fine finishing strokes.
Well suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired and reproduction conditions support delicate strokes.
The overall tone is poised and luxe, projecting a modern editorial sophistication with a touch of drama. Its gleaming contrast and fine detailing read as premium and style-forward, suggesting couture, art direction, and high-end branding.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif voice built around strong stroke contrast, precise detailing, and a controlled, upright rhythm—optimized for impactful display typography and premium visual identity work.
Large sizes showcase the design best, where the thin horizontals and hairline serifs can remain intact and the contrast becomes a feature rather than a liability. The letterforms balance classic Didone-inspired structure with a clean, contemporary restraint, keeping counters open and silhouettes sharply defined.
