A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, razor-fine hairlines, and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are slender and clean, with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a crisp, cut-paper finish. Capitals feel tall and stately with strong verticals, while the lowercase is compact with a notably short x-height and delicate connecting strokes that create a refined, airy texture in text. Curves are smooth but taut, and terminals tend toward sharp points or thin horizontal finishes; figures and punctuation follow the same dramatic contrast for a cohesive, display-forward color.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, campaign headlines, and poster titles where the contrast and hairlines can stay crisp. It can also work for short pull quotes or elegant packaging copy when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting a fashion/editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge. The extreme contrast and fine detailing suggest confidence and glamour, making the voice feel premium, intentional, and visually commanding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern didone-like elegance: strong vertical structure, dramatic contrast, and refined detailing that prioritizes impact and sophistication over utilitarian text robustness.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as precise and luxurious; at smaller sizes the finest strokes and thin joins may visually lighten, so generous size and careful contrast management can help preserve the intended elegance. The rhythm alternates between bold vertical anchors and very fine connective strokes, producing a distinctive sparkle across lines.
