A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a vertical, Didone-like stress. Stems are sturdy while hairlines and serifs are extremely fine, creating a crisp, polished texture at display sizes. Serifs are delicate and largely unbracketed, with sharp, clean attachment points and tapered entry/exit strokes. Capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase uses a relatively small x-height with tall ascenders and deep descenders; round letters (o, e, c) show tight apertures and smooth, controlled curves. Numerals echo the same contrast and thin finishing strokes, with elegant bowl shapes and slender horizontals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal invitations, and can work for book-cover typography when set with ample size and comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its razor-thin details and poised proportions evoke high-end print traditions—fashion, culture, and formal publishing—rather than utilitarian text settings.
The letterforms appear designed to capture a modernized classical high-contrast serif look: strong vertical structure paired with hairline finishing strokes to produce an upscale, print-centric voice. Proportions and detailing prioritize elegance and visual drama over small-size robustness.
The design relies on fine hairlines and precise joins, so the visual character shifts strongly with size and reproduction quality: larger settings emphasize sparkle and delicacy, while smaller settings may lose some of the thinnest strokes. The spacing and rhythm in the sample text read airy and controlled, with strong vertical emphasis and a calm baseline presence.
