A high-contrast serif with vertical stress, crisp unbracketed serifs, and razor-thin hairlines set against strong main stems. The proportions feel generously set with ample letter width and open counters, producing an airy rhythm in text and a confident stance in caps. Curves are smooth and controlled, with sharp terminals and pointed joins on letters like V, W, and Y, while rounded forms (O, Q) read clean and symmetrical. Numerals and punctuation match the same sharp, polished construction, emphasizing clarity and sheen over softness.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, editorial headlines, and posters where its contrast and sharp serifs can read as a feature. It can work for short pull quotes or larger-size text settings when given enough size and breathing room to preserve the delicacy of its hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, projecting an editorial, runway-ready sensibility. Its stark contrast and precise detailing create a sense of drama and sophistication, with a distinctly premium, display-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-like elegance: strong verticals, fine serifs, and a luminous page presence geared toward premium editorial and brand expression rather than utilitarian body copy.
In the sample text, the hairlines and small details become visually prominent, especially at smaller sizes or denser settings, where the contrast can heighten the texture of the paragraph. The design rewards generous point sizes and comfortable spacing, where the fine serifs and thin horizontals remain crisp and intentional rather than busy.
