A sharply contrasted serif with tall proportions, pronounced vertical stress, and extremely fine hairlines against strong main stems. Serifs are delicate and clean, with a modern, unbracketed feel, while curves are smooth and tightly controlled. Counters are often narrow and the rhythm is deliberately tense, producing a crisp, high-fashion texture in text. The numerals echo the same thin–thick logic, with elegant, graphic silhouettes and a distinctly display-led presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand marks where contrast and refinement are meant to be noticed. It will shine in pull quotes, section titles, and luxury packaging applications, especially when given generous size and clean printing or high-resolution screens.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting sophistication and a slightly theatrical, runway-ready drama. Its razor-thin details and glossy contrast suggest exclusivity and precision rather than warmth or neutrality.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary Didone-inspired look: maximizing contrast and verticality to create a sleek, premium voice for display typography. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and a couture editorial texture over utilitarian everyday reading.
Stroke modulation is most prominent in verticals, giving letters a chiseled, poster-like clarity at larger sizes. Spacing appears measured but the fine joins and hairline horizontals make the design feel intentionally fragile, emphasizing elegance over robustness.
