A high-contrast, sculpted roman with hairline-thin joins and sharp, clean terminals. Curves are broad and controlled, with generous counters and an overall open, airy color on the page. The letterforms show a contemporary Didone-like construction: vertical stress, tight hairlines, and a mix of long, straight stems with smoothly swelling bowls. Uppercase proportions read tall and poised, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with a delicate, precise rhythm; figures follow the same refined contrast with elegant arcs and slim connecting strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and fine details can remain clear. It also works well for premium packaging and editorial layouts, particularly when paired with a simpler companion face for body text.
The font communicates polish and sophistication, with a deliberate sense of drama from its razor-thin hairlines and bold stems. Its tone feels fashion-forward and premium, suited to settings that benefit from elegance and visual tension rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic contrast-driven forms—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and upscale presence in prominent typographic roles.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered details become the main character, giving the type a jewel-like crispness. In longer text, the strong contrast creates a lively texture and pronounced vertical cadence, especially in combinations of stems and rounded forms.
