A delicate, high-fashion serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. Stems are firm and dark while joins and terminals taper to fine hairlines, producing a crisp, etched rhythm. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with frequent wedge and needle-like endings that emphasize precision. Proportions feel tall and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase shows a small x-height and airy counters; several forms include stylized curves and occasional swash-like strokes that add flourish without becoming fully script.
Best suited to magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, luxury identities, packaging, and pull quotes where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for short text passages when set generously, but it visually performs strongest as a display face.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a dramatic contrast that reads as editorial and couture. Its ornamental touches and thin finishing strokes lend a slightly theatrical, vintage sophistication suited to premium branding and display typography.
The font appears designed to evoke modern elegance through classic high-contrast serif structure, combining crisp Didone-like discipline with subtle decorative gestures for a distinctive, upscale voice.
The design leans on contrast and fine details, so spacing and letterfit read intentionally open in running text. Numerals appear display-oriented with similarly delicate hairlines and a classic, formal stance.
