A high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical rhythm: thick, columnar stems paired with extremely fine hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs. Curves show a pronounced stress and clean modulation, while joins and terminals stay crisp and disciplined rather than calligraphic. Proportions lean tall and statuesque in the capitals, with a relatively moderate x-height in the lowercase and clear differentiation between rounds and straights. Overall spacing reads controlled and airy, supporting the delicate hairlines and giving the forms a polished, editorial silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and hairline detail can shine—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and refined poster titling. It can also work for short editorial blurbs or pull quotes when given sufficient size and breathing room.
The font projects a classic, high-fashion tone—confident, polished, and intentionally dramatic. Its razor-thin details and strong thick–thin contrast feel premium and ceremonial, lending a sense of prestige and sophistication to short-form typography.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern take on Didone-like elegance: maximum contrast, vertical poise, and crisp serif detailing for high-impact, upscale typography. Its controlled proportions and refined modulation suggest an emphasis on editorial presence and brand-forward clarity.
Uppercase shapes appear particularly commanding, with narrow hairline cross-strokes and elegant bowls that emphasize contrast. Numerals and lowercase follow the same sharp modulation, creating a consistent, refined texture in running samples while remaining most impactful at larger sizes.
