A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and thick main stems that create a crisp, fashion-forward rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins taper into pointed, calligraphic-looking terminals. Proportions skew narrow overall, with tall capitals and a relatively modest x-height that leaves generous ascenders and descenders; several lowercase forms (notably a, g, y) show distinctive, sculpted details and tight apertures. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing firm verticals with delicate connecting strokes and tapered ends for a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display roles where contrast and refined detail are an asset. It fits fashion and beauty branding, magazine and cultural editorial design, premium packaging, and poster work; use at larger sizes or in high-resolution contexts to preserve the finest hairlines.
The tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a premium, runway/editorial feel with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp contrasts and needle-like details read as confident and cultivated, more about elegance and impact than warmth or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver classic Didone-style glamour with contemporary sharpness: narrow, vertical forms and extreme stroke modulation engineered for striking titles and sophisticated brand statements.
In text settings the thin hairlines and tight internal spaces become visually active, especially where strokes overlap or converge, so spacing and size will strongly influence clarity. The design rewards clean reproduction and generous leading, and the distinctive curved terminals give even simple words a stylized, high-fashion cadence.
