This is a delicate, high-contrast serif with a strongly vertical rhythm and razor-thin hairlines. Serifs are fine and sharp, with minimal bracketing, while vertical stems carry most of the visual weight, creating a pronounced light–dark pattern across words. Round forms (O, C, Q, o) show clear vertical stress and a smooth, polished curve quality; joins and terminals stay crisp rather than calligraphically soft. Proportions feel slightly condensed to neutral overall, with generous whitespace inside counters and a measured, formal cadence in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same poised contrast, with thin crossbars and clean, precise transitions.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or report titling, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging. It can also work for short bursts of text in high-quality print or large on-screen settings where the hairlines and contrast can be preserved.
The tone is upscale and composed, evoking luxury print, fashion mastheads, and contemporary editorial design. Its contrast and fine detailing add drama and sophistication, while the upright stance and restrained shaping keep it professional and controlled.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-like elegance: dramatic contrast, vertical stress, and finely tuned details that project prestige and refinement in display-led compositions.
At display sizes the hairlines read as precise and glamorous, and the texture alternates between bold vertical accents and near-invisible connecting strokes. In the sample paragraphs, the font produces a sleek, sparkling page color with crisp punctuation and notably fine strokes in characters like J, S, and the crossbars of E/F/T.
