A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines that sharpen into delicate serifs. The letterforms show a vertical stress and a distinctly Didone-like rhythm, with tight, clean joins and minimal bracketing. Proportions are fairly narrow in many capitals, while curves (notably in C, O, and S) swing between thick main strokes and razor-thin connecting strokes, creating a striking black-and-white texture. The lowercase maintains a measured x-height with refined terminals and compact bowls, and the figures follow the same contrast logic with crisp, display-oriented detailing.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, invitations, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section titles where its crisp contrast can be appreciated without the hairlines getting lost.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting a premium, editorial voice. The extreme contrast and sharp finishing cues feel formal and fashion-forward, lending an upscale, curated character to headlines and prominent typographic moments.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast serif forms, prioritizing elegance and impact over neutrality. Its sharply articulated hairlines and vertical emphasis suggest a focus on premium editorial presence and refined brand expression.
In text settings the fine horizontals and hairline serifs become a defining feature, producing a shimmering texture that reads as sophisticated but visually assertive. The design’s contrast makes spacing and size especially important: it looks most confident when given enough scale for the hairlines to remain clearly visible.
