This serif typeface presents a sharply contrasted, Didone-leaning construction with pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairlines. Stems are tall and straight with crisp, minimally bracketed serifs, while bowls and rounds are clean and controlled, creating a polished, high-end rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and wide-set, and the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and delicate terminals that sharpen the overall texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with thin, precise connecting strokes.
Well suited to magazine layouts, large headlines, and display typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding applications—beauty, fashion, jewelry, hospitality—plus invitations and packaging that benefit from a formal, high-end voice.
The overall tone is elegant and formal, with an editorial sophistication that reads as premium and cultivated. Its bright, airy hairlines and poised proportions suggest a fashion-forward, gallery-like sensibility—confident, calm, and refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif typography: crisp, vertical, and luxurious, optimized for impactful display and editorial settings where refinement and authority are key.
At text sizes the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a sparkling page color with noticeable stroke modulation, especially in diagonals (V/W/X/Y) and curved letters (C/O/Q/S). The design rewards generous typesetting—ample size, careful leading, and moderate tracking—to keep the fine details from visually fading.
