A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Strokes resolve into sharp, unbracketed hairline serifs and crisp terminals, producing a clean, etched silhouette. Proportions are compact with tall capitals and a relatively restrained lowercase, while bowls and counters stay tight and controlled. Curves transition quickly into straight stems, and details like the ball terminals (notably on letters such as J and y) add a delicate, decorative finish without turning into script.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty editorial, premium branding, and large-format posters where the hairlines can be preserved. It can work for short pulls, deck copy, and titling at moderate sizes, but its delicate details suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is elegant and high-fashion, with a cool, cultivated formality. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details evoke editorial sophistication and a sense of luxury, making the text feel curated and upscale. The rhythm reads poised and deliberate rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-like elegance: strong contrast for visual drama, tight proportions for sophisticated economy of space, and crisp serif detailing for a polished, premium finish. It prioritizes striking presence and refined texture over utilitarian, long-form body readability.
In the text sample, the face creates strong vertical rhythm and striking word shapes, especially in mixed-case settings where tall ascenders and narrow joins emphasize a columnar texture. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin hairline transitions and compact widths that suit aligned, display-oriented use.
