A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very thin hairlines, creating a crisp, engraved look. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins resolve into narrow, tapered connections. Proportions are compact and sturdy in the heavier strokes, while counters stay relatively tight, producing a dense, headline-oriented color. The shapes favor verticality and clean, straight-sided forms, with a distinctive, more calligraphic italic-like construction in the lowercase v/w/x/y/z that adds visual bite and rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, cover lines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks where contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can work for pull quotes or short editorial blocks, but will generally perform more comfortably in larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, with a fashion-and-editorial edge. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing feel refined and ceremonial rather than casual, lending a sense of prestige and seriousness to short text.
Likely designed to deliver a modern Didone-style impression: maximum contrast, vertical emphasis, and razor serifs for a polished, high-fashion presence. The mix of rigid uppercase structure with more animated lowercase diagonals suggests an intent to balance classical formality with a slightly expressive, contemporary edge.
The numeral set follows the same high-contrast logic, with sculpted bowls and thin entry/exit strokes that read best at larger sizes. In the sample text, the font’s tight interiors and hairlines amplify impact but can make extended paragraphs feel heavy, especially where thin strokes begin to shimmer against bold verticals.
