A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and razor-thin hairlines, creating a distinctly modern Didone-like rhythm. Serifs are fine, sharp, and largely unbracketed, with crisp joins and pointed terminals that keep the letterforms looking clean and cut. Rounds (C, O, G, Q) show a pronounced thick–thin modulation and tight apertures, while the overall proportions feel compact and display-oriented, with relatively small counters and assertive black shapes. The lowercase maintains a controlled, fairly even x-height with narrow, straight-sided forms (m, n, u) and delicate entry/exit strokes that emphasize the contrast.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding, packaging, and event collateral that benefits from a formal, fashion-forward serif presence.
The tone is polished and theatrical—suited to high-end, editorial contexts where elegance comes from tension between heavy verticals and fragile hairlines. It reads as formal and stylish rather than friendly, with a deliberate sharpness that evokes fashion publishing and refined branding.
The design intent appears to be an elegant, contemporary display serif that leverages extreme stroke contrast and crisp, minimally bracketing serifs to project sophistication and impact. Its shapes prioritize visual drama and refinement over robust small-size neutrality.
At text sizes the extremely thin horizontals and serifs can visually recede, while the thick strokes dominate, producing a striking color and a somewhat staccato texture in dense settings. Numerals share the same dramatic contrast and sharp finishing, reinforcing a cohesive, luxe display voice across letters and figures.
