A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, pairing thick main stems with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are delicate and sharp with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a crisp, etched finish. Letterforms feel open and slightly expansive, with smooth, round bowls (notably in O/Q) and taut, tapering diagonals in characters like V, W, and y. Curves and joins are clean and controlled, producing a polished rhythm that stays consistent from caps to lowercase and numerals.
Best suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and other large-size typography where the hairlines can remain visible. It also works well for posters, invitations, and premium packaging where a refined, high-contrast serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic contrast that reads as upscale and fashion-forward. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted forms project sophistication and a confident, high-end editorial sensibility.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, luxury-inflected take on the didone tradition: strong vertical architecture, razor-thin detailing, and a composed, display-ready rhythm. The goal seems to be maximum elegance and impact through contrast, precision, and open proportions.
The design’s ultra-fine horizontals and hairline serifs create a sparkling texture in display settings, while the strong verticals hold the line and keep words from feeling fragile. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with distinctive figures that feel at home in refined typographic layouts.
