A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. Stems are robust and weighty while hairlines and serifs taper to fine points, creating sharp, crisp joins and a refined silhouette. Capitals feel stately and slightly expansive, with elegant curved bowls and tapered terminals; the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact counters and pointed, delicate finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with bold cores and slender entry/exit strokes that read best at display sizes.
Well suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, poster titles, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads and deck lines where its contrast and crispness can be preserved.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting luxury and confidence. Its razor-thin details and emphatic strokes give it a fashion-and-editorial energy, with a classic, high-society formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-didone-style, high-contrast look that signals refinement and prestige. It prioritizes dramatic stroke contrast and elegant detailing to create impactful, upscale typography for prominent, attention-leading text.
Fine hairlines and needle-like serifs are a defining feature, so spacing and size will strongly influence clarity. The design’s contrast creates striking word shapes in headlines, while dense text will appear dark and assertive with sparkling highlights in the thins.
