A delicate, hairline serif with extreme stroke contrast and crisp, needle-thin unbracketed serifs. The verticals dominate while horizontals and joins recede to fine rules, giving a sharp, polished rhythm across lines. Proportions are tall and comparatively condensed, with smooth, round bowls and tightly controlled apertures; terminals are clean and precise rather than calligraphic. The numerals echo the same Didone-like contrast, with airy counters and fine detailing that favors display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, fashion and beauty packaging, and premium brand identities where its contrast can shine. It can work for short blocks of text in high-quality print or carefully rendered digital contexts, but it’s most convincing when given room and scale.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its razor-thin details and disciplined structure read as sophisticated, formal, and slightly dramatic rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for upscale editorial and branding work. It prioritizes elegance, vertical emphasis, and refined detailing to create a striking, premium typographic voice.
In the text sample, spacing feels measured and orderly, supporting long strings without becoming overly decorative. Thin joins and hairline serifs create a luminous, brittle texture that will be sensitive to size and reproduction conditions, especially on low-resolution outputs.
