A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, giving joins a smooth, carved transition rather than abrupt, slab-like endings. Capitals feel stately and spacious with elegant, slightly tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic rhythm—noticeable in the ear and loop of “g,” the delicate arm of “r,” and the varied stroke modulation across bowls and stems. Numerals follow the same contrast-led logic, with graceful curves and crisp, pointed details that keep them visually consistent in text.
Best suited to magazine typography, headlines, and other display-led settings where its fine details can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, high-fashion aesthetic. For longer text, it will favor comfortable sizes and printing/screen conditions that preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, conveying a sense of luxury and sophistication. Its dramatic stroke modulation and sharp detailing suggest fashion-oriented elegance rather than utilitarian neutrality, with a poised, classic voice suited to premium presentation.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary editorial serif with classic, high-contrast DNA—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a polished typographic color for high-end communication.
In paragraph settings the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, airy texture, while the heavier verticals maintain structure and readability at display sizes. The italics are not shown, but the roman exhibits a distinctly Didone-influenced tension between vertical emphasis and delicate connecting strokes.
