A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are weighty and clean, while hairlines and serifs become extremely fine, creating a crisp, polished rhythm. Serifs read as sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed, with tapered joins and pointed apexes on letters like A and V; round characters (O, C, G) show smooth, controlled curves with delicate transitions into thin strokes. Proportions feel display-oriented, with relatively compact counters in the lowercase and clear, formal capitals; figures follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where the sharp contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury and fashion branding, product packaging, and posters that benefit from a polished, high-impact serif presence.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, with a distinctly dramatic sparkle from the hairline details. It conveys contemporary fashion and magazine sophistication, balancing classic serif formality with a crisp, modern finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-like elegance: commanding verticals, razor-thin details, and a composed, editorial rhythm aimed at premium, attention-grabbing typography.
In text, the extreme contrast produces a lively texture at larger sizes, with thin strokes that can visually recede compared to the bold verticals. The design maintains a consistent, disciplined axis and a deliberate, showy silhouette that favors strong headlines over subdued, continuous reading.
