A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, combining thick, weighty main strokes with extremely fine hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed terminals and tapered joins that create a crisp, cutting silhouette. Proportions feel slightly high-waisted, with tall capitals, narrow apertures in places, and a rhythmic alternation of thick-and-thin that stays consistent across letters and figures. The numerals mirror the same contrast and sharpness, reading elegant but attention-grabbing at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, section headers, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and poster titles. It can also work for short pull quotes or large-size editorial subheads where the high contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a couture/editorial sensibility. Its razor-thin details and sculpted forms feel refined and premium, with an assertive, headline-forward presence rather than a quiet, utilitarian voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modernized Didone-like impact: crisp contrast, elegant sharp serifs, and a controlled, editorial rhythm intended to feel premium and striking in prominent applications.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine serifs add sparkle and sophistication; in denser settings they can visually intensify, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence readability. Round letters show a clear vertical emphasis, and pointed terminals add a slightly theatrical edge to the otherwise classical structure.
