A tall, tightly set serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. Stems are dominant and straight, while horizontals and connecting strokes reduce to very fine lines, producing a striking thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are crisp and delicate, with minimal bracketing and pointed terminals that keep contours clean. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in S, C, and O), and overall spacing feels compact, favoring a sleek, columnar texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titling, and high-end packaging where contrast and elegance can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with ample size and breathing room to protect the delicate strokes.
The tone is poised and high-end, with a runway/editorial sensibility driven by the sharp contrast and narrow proportions. It reads as confident and dramatic rather than warm, giving text a polished, upscale presence suitable for refined messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, modern-didone-like elegance: tall proportions, emphatic contrast, and razor serifs that create a luxurious, editorial voice while maintaining a disciplined, upright structure.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine joins become a defining feature, creating a shimmering texture in longer lines. The narrow set and strong verticality encourage careful tracking and generous leading for comfortable reading in paragraphs.
