A high-contrast serif with a crisp, vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines paired with fuller main strokes. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, giving terminals a clean, cut finish. Proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with generous counters and clear separation between thick and thin parts. Round letters are smooth and symmetrical, while diagonals and joins stay taut, creating a precise, sculpted rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairline details and sharp serifs can remain clear—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury brand identities, and refined poster or title treatments. It can work for short editorial passages when printed or rendered with enough size and contrast, but its delicate thins suggest prioritizing display and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward sensibility. Its sharp contrast and delicate detailing read as sophisticated and formal, lending a sense of luxury and restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-like elegance: dramatic contrast, clean verticality, and a minimal, precise serif treatment that emphasizes sophistication and visual sparkle in display settings.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, airy texture, while the heavier verticals provide a strong cadence. Numerals and capitals look particularly poised for display, and the italics are not shown here—everything reads as upright and controlled.
