A sharply contrasted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and pronounced vertical stress. Hairline serifs and terminals stay crisp and unbracketed, while thick strokes read as clean, flat-sided forms that create a bold rhythm in text. Proportions skew toward elegant, display-oriented capitals with generous spacing and tight interior counters in letters like B, P, and R, balanced by a relatively conventional, readable lowercase. Curves are smooth and disciplined, with pointed joins and fine connecting strokes that emphasize the font’s razor-thin horizontals and delicate details.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where contrast and elegance are assets. It also works well for branding, packaging, and invitations that want a premium, classic impression. In longer passages it can be used effectively when set at comfortable sizes and with enough leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward feel. Its high contrast and sharp finishing give it a luxurious, formal voice that can also feel slightly theatrical when set large. The texture in paragraphs alternates between strong black stems and sparkling hairlines, producing an upscale, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on high-contrast, Didone-like elegance—prioritizing sophistication, strong typographic color in capitals, and a polished, luxury-oriented voice while maintaining a workable lowercase for mixed-case editorial use.
The numerals and capitals show clear display intent: forms like 2, 3, 5, and 7 rely on thin cross-strokes and sharp terminals, and the Q features a prominent, elegant tail. In continuous text, the thin elements become a defining feature, creating a bright, shimmering line that benefits from adequate size and favorable printing or rendering conditions.
