A striking modern serif built on a Didone-like skeleton: strong verticals, very thin hairlines, and crisp, unbracketed serifs. The proportions feel compact and sturdy, with relatively narrow counters and frequent teardrop/ball terminals that add a slightly ornamental finish. Uppercase forms are tall and authoritative, while the lowercase shows a conventional x-height with compact bowls and clear contrast-driven modulation. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, giving the set a cohesive, display-forward rhythm.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and high-impact editorial typography. It can also serve premium branding and packaging where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired, especially when set large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting luxury and editorial confidence. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing evoke fashion and magazine typography, with a hint of vintage poster drama from the heavy stems and tight internal spaces.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-fashion display serif that amplifies contrast for impact while using sharp serifs and ball terminals to add sophistication and character.
In text settings the thin horizontals and hairlines create a glittering texture, while the dense letterforms keep lines feeling bold and weighty. The design relies on crisp edges and fine details, so it visually rewards ample size and clean reproduction where the hairlines can remain intact.
