A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Serifs are fine and crisp, reading as sharp hairlines on horizontals with sturdier vertical stems; curves transition cleanly into thin connections, creating a glossy, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively wide, with strong straight-sided structure in letters like H, I, N, and M, while rounds like O and Q show clear vertical stress and delicate joins. The lowercase keeps a traditional two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and narrow hairline links, producing an even texture despite noticeable character-to-character width variation.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, and other editorial layouts where the strong contrast can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging, particularly for fashion, beauty, or cultural institutions, and works well for posters and title treatments where a formal, dramatic voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and formal, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a sense of drama from the extreme contrast. It feels classical and prestigious, leaning toward luxury branding and sophisticated print typography rather than casual or utilitarian work.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-like elegance: wide, composed capitals, razor-thin hairlines, and clean, vertical stress for high-impact display typography. Its consistent, polished detailing suggests a focus on refined presentation and strong typographic hierarchy in print-oriented layouts.
At display sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs read as elegant details, while in denser text the contrast creates a sparkling texture with strong emphasis on vertical strokes. Numerals appear lining and stylistically consistent with the letters, carrying the same contrast and crisp terminals.
