A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and crisp hairline terminals. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, giving the forms a clean, engraved feel. Capitals are tall and elegant with generous spacing and broad proportions, while the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm and a balanced, readable x-height. Round letters show smooth, controlled curves; joins and crossbars stay slender, emphasizing a bright page color and a distinctly high-contrast texture in text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and brand-led layouts where contrast and refinement are desired. It also fits formal printed materials like invitations and programs, especially when set with ample size and spacing to let the hairlines stay clear.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a strong editorial and luxury association. Its sharp hairlines and stately proportions create a sense of prestige and ceremony, while the crisp detailing adds a modern, fashion-forward edge.
The design intent appears focused on a modernized Didone-like elegance: maximizing contrast and verticality to deliver a sophisticated, editorial voice. It prioritizes poise and impact in prominent settings while retaining a traditional serif structure for coherent paragraph rhythm at comfortable reading sizes.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and serifs are especially prominent, producing a sparkling texture at larger sizes and a more delicate presence as sizes decrease. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside the capitals and lowercase in display settings.
