A condensed, high-contrast serif with emphatic verticals and extremely fine hairlines. The letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned, with a rhythmic alternation of thick stems and razor-thin connecting strokes that reads as modern Didone-influenced. Serifs are delicate and pointed, often resolving into sharp, wedge-like feet and needle terminals, with minimal bracketing. Curves are clean and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and the overall texture is crisp and glossy at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine heads, fashion and beauty branding, poster titles, and high-end packaging where large sizes preserve the hairline detail. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers when given generous spacing and strong reproduction quality.
The font conveys a polished, fashion-forward tone with a strong sense of drama and sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and elongated proportions feel luxurious and editorial, leaning toward high-impact headlines rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic contrasted serif: condensed, assertive, and refined, optimized to create maximum elegance and impact in large-scale editorial and brand applications.
In the samples, the tight width and extreme contrast create striking word shapes, especially in capitals, while the thinnest strokes can visually recede at smaller sizes or in dense settings. Some glyphs show stylized, calligraphic-like flicks and tapered joins that add personality without turning into script.
