A refined high-contrast serif with tall proportions, long hairline serifs, and strong thick–thin modulation. Round forms show a clear vertical stress, while joins and curves transition into extremely fine terminals that create a sharp, polished edge. Capitals feel stately and measured, with generous sidebearings and an overall open, airy texture; lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with slender stems and delicate finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, reading clean and sculptural in display sizes.
Best suited for display applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium product packaging, and large-format posters where the contrast can shine. It can work for short editorial passages and pull quotes when set with comfortable sizes and spacing, but is most compelling where fine detail is preserved.
The font projects an editorial, luxury tone—poised and sophisticated rather than casual. Its razor-thin details and controlled rhythm evoke fashion mastheads, premium packaging, and classic book typography interpreted with a modern, minimal crispness.
The design intention appears to be a modernized Didone-inspired display serif: maximizing contrast and vertical stress while keeping outlines clean and minimally bracketed. It aims to deliver a crisp, luxurious voice with ample spacing and elegant proportions for high-impact typography.
The design’s visual identity depends heavily on hairline strokes and fine serifs, which create striking sparkle at large sizes but can visually soften or break up at smaller sizes or in low-resolution contexts. The wide letterfit and ample internal counters contribute to an elegant, unhurried cadence in text settings, especially in mixed-case lines.
