A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and extremely fine hairlines set against bold main stems. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with a largely unbracketed, knife-like feel, producing crisp starts and stops at terminals. The overall proportions read on the wider side with generous horizontal room, and the rhythm alternates between solid, weighty strokes and near-thread counters, giving a distinctly graphic texture in text. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q and the lowercase bowls) are smooth and taut, while diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y, and k) remain slender and precise.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine covers, editorial headings, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters where its crisp contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, especially in print-oriented layouts that benefit from a refined, high-impact serif.
The font conveys an editorial, high-fashion tone—polished, dramatic, and intentionally glamorous. Its stark thick–thin modulation and crisp detailing create a sense of prestige and formality, with an attention-grabbing sparkle in headlines and display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-like elegance: bold vertical structure, razor-thin detailing, and a wide, stately presence for sophisticated headline typography. It prioritizes dramatic contrast and polished finish over utilitarian neutrality, aiming for visual authority and luxury cues.
The lowercase uses two-storey forms where expected (a, g) and keeps a relatively poised, bookish silhouette, while hairline joins and thin horizontals become notably delicate at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender spines and refined curves that visually match the caps.
