A high-contrast serif with tall proportions and sharp, hairline-thin connecting strokes set against strong verticals. Serifs are fine and precise, with a generally unbracketed, cut-like finish that keeps edges crisp. The curves show a vertical stress and an elegant modulation, producing teardrop-like terminals and narrow joins in places, while counters remain open and clean. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long ascenders/descenders, and overall spacing feels airy, emphasizing the font’s light, refined rhythm.
Best suited for large-size typography such as magazine covers and spreads, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-impact posters. It also works well for pull quotes and titling where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated, especially with generous tracking and whitespace.
The typeface conveys an editorial, couture sensibility—polished, poised, and intentionally dramatic. Its razor-thin details and stately contrast suggest sophistication and exclusivity, lending a formal, high-end tone to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended as a modern Didone-inspired display serif, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and refined detailing over neutral text efficiency. Its letterforms aim to deliver a premium editorial voice with crisp silhouettes and delicate hairline accents.
Display behavior is reinforced by the extreme stroke modulation: hairlines and small details can visually recede at smaller sizes, while larger settings reveal the nuanced terminals and crisp serif edges. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, reading elegant and fashion-forward rather than utilitarian.
