A sharply contrasted serif with dominant vertical stems, razor-thin hairlines, and crisp, unbracketed serifs. The forms show vertical stress and a distinctly Didone-like construction, with round letters built from thick verticals and extremely fine joins. Proportions feel display-leaning: capitals are stately and narrow-to-moderate, while the lowercase maintains a normal x-height but relies on delicate entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like terminals in places. Numerals echo the same contrast and precision, giving the set a polished, high-impact rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and high-end invitations. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where the crisp contrast is a feature and sizes are large enough to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a high-fashion editorial sensibility. Its dramatic thick–thin transitions create an elegant, slightly theatrical voice that reads as premium and carefully curated rather than casual or rustic.
This design appears intended to deliver classic, high-contrast elegance with modern crispness—prioritizing impact, refinement, and a luxurious editorial presence over everyday text robustness.
The thinnest strokes and serifs are extremely fine relative to the main stems, so the texture shifts noticeably between bold verticals and near-hairline horizontals. In text settings this produces a rhythmic “stripe” effect and a sophisticated sparkle, especially in large sizes.
