A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairline strokes set against heavier stems. Serifs are delicate and sharp, with an overall crisp, engraved feel and clean, upright construction. Proportions are expansive, giving capitals and round letters generous width, while curves are smooth and controlled; joins and terminals remain taut and precise. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with airy counters and thin linking strokes that emphasize a bright, high-end texture in text.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and fine serifs can be fully appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion spreads, luxury branding, beauty packaging, and high-end invitations. It can work for short pull quotes or titling in print and high-resolution digital settings where its delicate details remain intact.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a poised, runway-editorial sensibility. Its stark contrast and razor-fine details create a dramatic, premium voice that reads as sophisticated rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical high-contrast serif: wide, composed letterforms with dramatic stroke contrast and meticulous finishing for premium display typography.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm feel open and statuesque, producing a bright page color typical of display-oriented Didone-like serifs. The numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with sweeping curves and hairline joins that visually match the letterforms.
