A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and fine hairlines, producing a crisp, sculpted texture. Serifs are thin and sharply cut, generally unbracketed, with clear vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Proportions read on the wide side with open counters and a sturdy, weighty presence in the heavy strokes, while the lighter strokes stay delicate and precise. The italic is not shown; forms appear consistently upright with an even, display-oriented rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine and book cover titling, brand marks, and premium packaging where contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like detailing give it a fashion-forward, headline-centric voice that feels formal, confident, and a bit theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-like impact: a bold, wide silhouette paired with delicate hairlines for maximum contrast and elegance. It prioritizes striking presence and refined detail over utilitarian neutrality, aiming for high-end, attention-grabbing typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tight interior details contribute to a refined, engraved-like sparkle, while the bold verticals dominate the page. Spacing appears generous enough for display lines, and the numerals match the same high-contrast, formal construction for cohesive titling.
