A sharply contrasted serif with a pronounced vertical stress, thick main strokes, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are thin and crisp, generally unbracketed, giving terminals a clean, incisive finish. Proportions feel display-leaning: capitals are tall and stately, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with elegant, tapered joins and delicate entry/exit strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow internal apertures and tight counters in several letters, creating a dense, polished rhythm at larger sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, campaign posters, and premium packaging where its high contrast can read clearly. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with generous spacing, but it is most convincing when used as a display face.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, balancing elegance with a bold, editorial presence. Its razor-thin details and sculpted curves evoke luxury branding and fashion-led typography rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-style editorial voice: maximal contrast, crisp detailing, and a polished silhouette optimized to look striking in titles and brand marks.
The design relies on very fine details—especially in serifs and cross-strokes—which heightens its premium look but also makes it visually sensitive to size and reproduction quality. The italic-like flicks on some lowercase terminals add a touch of calligraphic flair while remaining strictly upright in stance.
