A delicate modern serif with razor-thin hairlines, strong thick–thin modulation, and predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are drawn with wide, graceful bowls and careful tapering at joins and terminals, while straight stems stay clean and erect. Uppercase forms feel stately and airy; lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with slender ascenders/descenders and clear, open counters. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant loops and thin connecting strokes that read best at generous sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, pull quotes, campaign headlines, and upscale brand identities. It can also work for short blocks of larger-size editorial text where its contrast and airy spacing can be preserved.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and fine details project sophistication and formality, leaning toward contemporary high-end branding rather than utilitarian text color.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary Didone-inspired look: maximum elegance through high contrast, vertical structure, and pristine hairline detailing, optimized for impactful, image-forward typography.
Spacing appears intentionally open, enhancing the light, glossy texture in display settings. The design emphasizes sharpness and precision, so its finest strokes may visually soften or disappear when used too small or on low-resolution outputs.
