A sharply contrasted serif with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions and very fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and relatively unbracketed, giving terminals a clean, cut finish. The capitals show a tall, elegant posture with narrow proportions and strong vertical emphasis, while round letters (like O and C) keep a controlled, slightly condensed oval. Lowercase forms are compact with a steady x-height, narrow apertures, and delicate connecting strokes; the overall rhythm is tight and precise. Numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, with slender diagonals and hairline curves that feel display-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where high contrast and narrow proportions can create strong hierarchy. It also fits fashion, beauty, and luxury branding, as well as poster titles and refined packaging where a crisp, high-end tone is desired.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—formal, stylish, and slightly theatrical due to its razor-thin details and bold stems. It reads as modern-classic and high-end, suited to designs aiming for sophistication and visual authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-style impression: maximum contrast, clean unbracketed serifs, and an elegant, space-efficient stance that produces dramatic, polished typography in display use.
In longer lines, the light hairlines and tight internal spaces create a bright, sparkling texture that benefits from generous size and careful spacing. The thinnest horizontals and joins are especially delicate, so the design’s character is most apparent in display settings where the contrast can breathe.
