This serif typeface is built from pronounced thick–thin modulation with a vertical stress and extremely delicate hairlines. Serifs are fine and crisp with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a precise, etched finish. Proportions run on the condensed side, with tall capitals, compact counters, and a steady, upright rhythm. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long ascenders/descenders, contributing to a stately line profile and a light overall color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, and other display settings where its fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for fashion and luxury branding, invitations, and posters that benefit from a light, sophisticated typographic voice.
The overall tone feels refined and luxurious, with a poised, old‑world elegance typical of high-contrast display serifs. Its thin detailing reads sophisticated and slightly formal, lending an editorial and fashion-oriented character rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-like impression: strong vertical stems, razor-thin connecting strokes, and an overall graceful contrast meant to look polished in prominent, high-impact text.
At larger sizes the hairline details and sharp joins read clean and ornamental, while the condensed proportions create a vertical, high-end silhouette. Numerals follow the same contrasted logic, appearing delicate and stylish alongside text.
