A sharply contrasted serif with tall proportions, vertical stress, and striking hairline features. Stems are bold and straight while connecting strokes and serifs collapse to very fine lines, creating a crisp black‑and‑white rhythm. Serifs are thin and mostly unbracketed, with pointed, knife-like terminals and occasional tapered entries. The overall texture is airy and elegant, with tight internal counters and a noticeably stylized, display-oriented construction that remains clean and upright.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand systems where elegant contrast can be shown at generous sizes. It can work for short subheads, pull quotes, and premium packaging, especially in high-quality print or large-format digital applications where the hairlines remain intact.
The tone is couture and editorial—polished, dramatic, and high-end. Its extreme light-and-dark modulation feels glamorous and deliberate, projecting sophistication and a slightly theatrical presence suited to aspirational branding.
Designed to deliver a modern Didone-like luxury impression through extreme stroke modulation, slender proportions, and crisp, unbracketed finishing. The intent appears focused on high-impact display typography that signals refinement and fashion-led sophistication.
In text, the hairlines and tight joins become a defining feature, producing a lively sparkle but also a delicate feel at smaller sizes or on low-resolution outputs. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and read as stylish, with strong verticals and fine finishing strokes that match the uppercase’s formal stance.
