A refined serif with sharp, hairline-thin serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. The forms show a crisp, contemporary Didone-leaning structure with smooth, rounded bowls and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are delicate and largely bracketed, and many joins transition into thin strokes with a calligraphic snap. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, clear counters, and tidy spacing that supports both display and large-text settings.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities that need an upscale voice. It can also work for book covers and premium packaging where large sizes allow the fine serifs and hairlines to remain clear. For smaller text, it will favor high-quality output or generous sizing to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and needle-like detailing convey precision, sophistication, and a slightly formal temperament rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic serif for sophisticated display typography, combining traditional proportions with heightened contrast and meticulously finished terminals for a sleek, premium impression.
Curved letters (like C, G, O, Q) emphasize clean geometry and controlled stroke tension, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read sharp and sculpted. Numerals carry the same elegance, with thin horizontals and strong vertical emphasis, giving figures a poised, editorial look.
