This serif typeface is built around strong vertical stems and extremely thin hairlines, creating a striking light–dark rhythm. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often ending in needle-like points, and curves show a clear vertical stress with refined, tapered joins. Proportions read slightly expanded, with generous internal counters in letters like O, C, and D, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, bookish x-height. Detail work is prominent: the lowercase a has a distinctive ball terminal, and letters such as f, g, j, and y feature fine, swooping terminals that add a touch of calligraphic flair without breaking the overall upright posture.
Best suited for display typography where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, and premium brand identities. It can also work for short pull quotes and titling on posters or packaging when set with comfortable tracking and adequate size.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic contrast that feels at home in fashion, culture, and premium branding contexts. The sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals add a sense of sophistication and theatricality, while the steady vertical structure keeps the voice composed and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-like elegance: bold vertical structure paired with razor-thin detailing for maximum visual drama. The added terminal flourishes in select lowercase forms suggest an aim to stand out in branding and editorial settings while retaining a classical serif foundation.
In the sample text, the dense contrast remains crisp at large sizes, and the wide set gives headlines a stately, airy presence. Several glyphs lean into display-like detailing—especially in the lowercase terminals—so spacing and texture feel more expressive than neutral when used in longer passages.
