A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. Hairline serifs and joins stay crisp and clean, while main stems are confidently weighted, creating a bright, sparkling texture in text. Proportions lean toward classic book/Didone-inspired forms: compact, well-contained lowercase with clear counters and a controlled rhythm, paired with capitals that feel formal and slightly monumental. Curves are smooth and taut, terminals are precise rather than soft, and the overall drawing favors clarity and polish over warmth.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, book covers, and headline systems where contrast and elegance are desirable. It also fits brand identities that need a classic, premium voice, and works effectively in pull quotes or titling where its crisp hairlines can be appreciated.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—formal, stylish, and distinctly editorial. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing read as cultured and authoritative, with a fashion-and-literature sensibility that feels timeless rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif voice: a polished, high-contrast text-and-display companion that reads as traditional and refined while maintaining a vivid, contemporary sharpness.
In longer lines, the strong contrast creates a lively shimmer, especially where hairlines repeat (e.g., in diagonals and joins). Numerals and capitals carry the same refined contrast, supporting a cohesive, premium look in headings and display settings.
