A sharply drawn serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Hairline serifs and razor-like terminals contrast with confident, dark main stems, creating a crisp rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel compact with tight letterfit, while curves are clean and taut; counters stay open but are framed by very thin joining strokes. The design shows deliberate, high-fashion detailing, including distinctive interior shapes in round letters and fine, calligraphic-like joins in characters such as a, g, and y.
Best used for large-scale typography such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and high-end packaging. It can also serve for short pull quotes or titling where its crisp contrast and narrow presence add sophistication, especially in well-spaced layouts.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, projecting luxury and editorial polish rather than everyday neutrality. Its high contrast and precise finishing cues a contemporary take on classic Didone-style refinement, suited to sophisticated, image-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with a premium feel—balancing classic elegance with sharp, stylized details that stand out in display and editorial contexts.
In text settings the hairlines and tight apertures create a sparkling texture that rewards generous size and good reproduction. Numerals follow the same couture-like contrast, with tall figures and delicate diagonals that emphasize a refined, display-oriented character.
