A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strongly weighted vertical stems, producing a distinctly vertical, polished rhythm. Serifs are sharp and minimal with little visible bracketing, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals that heighten the sense of precision. Curves are tightly controlled with smooth, near-circular bowls, while diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) read as slender, elegant strokes against heavier uprights. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow in presence, with generous internal space in letters like O and D; lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with crisp entry/exit strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Best suited to display typography such as fashion and lifestyle headlines, magazine mastheads, luxury identity work, and high-end packaging. It can also work well for invitations or event materials where an elegant, formal voice is desired, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines stay clear.
The overall tone is elegant and high-fashion, with a cool, authoritative sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and fine detail suggest premium, curated settings rather than casual or utilitarian use, lending headlines a sense of ceremony and exclusivity.
The design appears intended to capture a modern, Didone-inspired elegance: maximizing thick–thin drama, verticality, and crisp serif detailing to create a premium, editorial look that commands attention in headline settings.
In the text sample, the extreme contrast remains striking at large sizes, where the hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining feature. Numerals and capitals have a classic, display-oriented poise, and the set reads best when given enough size and breathing room to preserve the delicacy of the thinnest strokes.
