This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a clear vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with a largely unbracketed, cut-in feel that keeps joins crisp and the overall texture airy. Capitals are stately and relatively compact in width, while lowercase forms stay controlled and upright, with a moderate x-height and generous ascender/descender reach that adds elegance in text. Curves are smooth and taut (notably in C, G, S, and O), and the figures follow the same high-contrast logic, including a distinctive, swashy 2 and a refined 9.
Well-suited for magazine typography, cultural or fashion editorial, and luxury branding where high contrast can provide sophistication. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and prominent titles, and can be used for short text passages in high-quality reproduction where delicate hairlines remain intact.
The tone is sophisticated and high-fashion, with a poised, editorial sheen. Its contrast and hairline details create a sense of luxury and drama, while the upright structure keeps it formal and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-style impression: maximum contrast, sharp detailing, and an elegant, upright stance for premium editorial and branding contexts. It aims to balance dramatic display character with enough regularity to set polished, refined text.
In larger sizes the fine strokes read as crisp and premium, but the light hairlines and sharp terminals suggest it will be most effective where printing or rendering is clean and generous. The overall rhythm is calm and evenly spaced, with a pronounced headline presence that remains orderly in paragraph settings.
