A high-contrast serif with tall, narrow proportions and a distinctly vertical stress. Thick stems are paired with very fine hairlines, producing crisp joins and sharp, clean transitions. Serifs are delicate and lightly bracketed to unbracketed in feel, with tapered entry/exit strokes that keep counters open despite the narrow set. Curves are smooth and disciplined, and the overall rhythm reads as poised and tightly spaced, especially in capitals and lining figures.
Best suited to display and large sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and poster titling. It can work for short pull quotes or deck text, but the tight, contrast-driven forms are most effective when used with ample size and careful spacing.
The tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic, runway-like sheen that signals luxury and sophistication. Its stark contrast and refined detailing give it an editorial voice—confident, stylish, and slightly formal—well suited to statement typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-like impression: a controlled, vertical, high-contrast serif built for impactful titles and refined brand moments. Its narrow stance and razor-fine details prioritize elegance and a strong editorial silhouette over neutral, everyday text texture.
The glyph set shows strong contrast consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with distinctive thin diagonals in letters like K, N, V, W, and X. Lowercase forms maintain a classic book-seriff structure while keeping a taut, vertical stance; figures appear lining and similarly contrasty, designed to align visually with capitals in display settings.
