This serif shows extreme thick–thin modulation with crisp hairline serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. The letterforms are sculpted and high-contrast, with narrow joins, tapered strokes, and sharp, clean terminals that create a glossy, cut-paper feel. Uppercase proportions are stately and tall, while the lowercase reads relatively small in comparison, emphasizing the long ascenders/descenders and a compact x-height. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing bold main strokes with needle-like hairlines for a refined, display-led texture.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters where the fine hairlines and dramatic contrast can be rendered cleanly. It also works well for pull quotes and elegant titling when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is polished and high-fashion, projecting elegance and drama rather than neutrality. Its sharp contrasts and delicate details suggest prestige, sophistication, and a curated, editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-like elegance with heightened contrast and precision, prioritizing a glamorous, editorial impact over utilitarian body-text neutrality.
In text settings the rhythm alternates between dense black strokes and very light connecting hairlines, producing a sparkling, high-end texture. The thinnest details and fine serifs become a key visual feature, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated.
