A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairlines that create a crisp, engraved look. Serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, with thin, straight terminals and a clean, formal finish. Proportions lean tall and elegant in the capitals, while the lowercase shows a comparatively modest x-height and delicate joins that emphasize a bright, airy texture. Curves (C, G, O, Q, 6, 9) are smoothly drawn with tight hairline connections, and overall spacing reads controlled and even, favoring clarity over softness.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines can fully resolve: headlines, pull quotes, magazine mastheads, luxury branding, and book or album covers. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print, but its fine details suggest using generous size and leading for comfortable reading.
The tone is polished and high-end, carrying the kind of poised drama associated with fashion, art, and literary publishing. Its stark thick–thin rhythm and razorlike details feel formal, confident, and slightly theatrical, projecting prestige and authority rather than casual warmth.
The design appears aimed at a modern Didone-like editorial voice: maximizing contrast and verticality to produce a sleek, premium texture while keeping letterforms disciplined and legible for sophisticated layout work.
Details like the fine diagonal in the uppercase X and the hairline crossbar on A reinforce an intentionally delicate top-end. Numerals follow the same contrast and vertical emphasis, with standout figures such as a sculptural 2 and an 8 built from strong verticals and tight counters.
