A tightly set, vertically oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp hairline finishing. Stems are straight and dominant, while curves transition quickly into fine terminals, creating a sharp, polished rhythm. Serifs are delicate and mostly unbracketed, with a clean, modern cut that reads like a contemporary Didone-inspired display face. Proportions are narrow overall, with compact counters and a controlled, linear texture in text, while select letters show slightly more expansive curves that add subtle variety without breaking consistency.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and titling where its contrast and narrow stance can create an upscale, attention-grabbing column of text. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes with adequate leading to preserve the fine details.
The font projects a sleek, high-end voice associated with fashion and editorial typography. Its razor-thin details and sculpted forms feel poised and theatrical, delivering a sense of sophistication and intentionality. The overall tone is elegant and slightly intense, prioritizing style and presence over neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, couture-leaning serif look with maximum contrast and a tall, economical footprint. It aims to create a refined, impactful texture in large sizes, leveraging hairline serifs and vertical emphasis to signal elegance and modern editorial style.
The combination of dense width and extreme contrast produces a striking light–dark sparkle, especially in capitals and numerals. In the sample text, the hairlines and thin joins become a key part of the personality, so spacing and size will strongly affect readability and perceived sharpness.
