A delicate display serif with sharply tapered hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems read predominantly vertical with clear vertical stress, while serifs are fine, pointed, and largely unbracketed, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions are relatively tall and airy, with generous counters and smooth, round bowls; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and a graceful rhythm. Curves and terminals often resolve into needle-like strokes, and the numerals echo the same ornamental contrast and slender construction.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium labels, invitations, and poster titles. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in print-oriented layouts where an elegant, high-contrast voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and glossy magazine typography. Its dramatic contrast and fine finishing details feel poised and formal, with a slightly theatrical, boutique sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-inspired elegance: dramatic contrast, clean vertical structure, and refined detailing aimed at premium editorial and brand expression. It prioritizes style and visual impact, creating a light, sophisticated presence on the page.
In text settings the thin strokes recede quickly, emphasizing the vertical cadence of the design and giving lines a light, sparkling texture. The ampersand and numerals present as particularly decorative, reinforcing the font’s role as an attention-getting display serif rather than a utilitarian workhorse.
