A very high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and sharply defined thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and pointed, with a clean, engraved feel and minimal bracketing, while round forms stay smooth and controlled. Capitals appear tall and stately with ample interior space; the lowercase is similarly slender with a relatively modest x-height and long, delicate ascenders/descenders. Curves and terminals show subtle calligraphic influence, especially in letters like a, f, g, and y, and the figures follow the same refined contrast with elegant, tapered details.
Best suited for large-size settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and elegant invitations. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers where the refined contrast and generous whitespace can be preserved.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, conveying a polished, high-end character associated with fashion and editorial typography. Its lightness and razor-thin details feel sophisticated and formal, creating an airy, premium impression rather than a sturdy or utilitarian one.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, contemporary Didone-style elegance: maximizing contrast and delicacy to create a premium editorial voice. Its proportions and crisp finishing suggest an emphasis on sophisticated display typography with a controlled, traditional serif vocabulary.
The design relies heavily on thin hairlines for structure, so small sizes or low-resolution reproduction may reduce clarity; it visually shines when given room and good contrast. Distinctive details include the swashed tail on the capital Q and the graceful, sweeping diagonals in letters like V and W, which add a touch of drama without becoming ornamental.
