A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharp, tapered serifs paired with fuller vertical stems. The design is upright with pronounced vertical stress, giving round letters a narrow-thick / wide-thin modulation and a clean, chiseled finish. Proportions run broad in many capitals (notably C, O, Q) while spacing remains open, creating a light, spacious rhythm. Lowercase forms show smooth, continuous curves and fine entry/exit strokes; terminals tend to be pointed or subtly flared rather than blunt, reinforcing a precise, drawn-with-a-pen feel.
This font suits headline and titling applications where contrast and delicacy can be appreciated—magazine mastheads, fashion or beauty campaigns, premium brand identities, and upscale packaging. It performs best at moderate to large sizes and in contexts that preserve its fine strokes and crisp details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and aspirational, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its delicate detailing reads luxurious and poised, leaning more toward refined display typography than utilitarian text work.
The design appears intended to evoke classic Didone-style refinement through extreme contrast, vertical stress, and sharp, minimal serifs. Its wide, airy letterforms and polished curves aim to deliver a high-end, contemporary editorial look while retaining traditional elegance.
Distinctive features include very fine cross strokes (such as the E/F arms and the T bar), a graceful, sweeping Q tail, and slender diagonals in V/W/X that maintain contrast without feeling heavy. Numerals follow the same hairline-and-stem logic, with elegant curves and minimal mass, which keeps figures visually consistent with the letterforms.
