A razor-thin, high-contrast serif with tall proportions and a tightly compressed footprint. Stems read as near-monoline hairlines punctuated by occasional thicker verticals, creating a pronounced vertical stress and a sparkling, delicate texture. Serifs are sharp and minimal with little visible bracketing, and the overall rhythm is airy with generous internal white space. Uppercase forms are elegant and statuesque, while the lowercase shows long ascenders/descenders and compact bowls; numerals and punctuation keep the same fine, precise detailing.
Best suited for large-size applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty mastheads, premium branding, posters, and elegant packaging. It can work for short pull quotes or titling where its narrow set and high contrast can create a distinctive vertical rhythm.
The tone is polished and dramatic, evoking fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and high-end editorial typography. Its extreme delicacy and narrow stance lend a poised, couture-like sophistication, with an intentionally brittle elegance rather than warmth or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, Didone-leaning elegance in an extra-condensed, hairline voice—maximizing sophistication and contrast for display typography while keeping forms crisp, upright, and highly refined.
At display sizes the hairlines produce a shimmering, premium look, but the thin joins and fine terminals make the texture feel intentionally fragile and best showcased with ample spacing and clean backgrounds.
