This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, vertical stress, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are narrow and crisp, with minimal bracketing and a clean, carved feel at joins and terminals. Uppercase forms read formal and stately with generous curves in C/G/O and a strong, tapered Q tail, while the lowercase shows compact, precise details—most notably a double-storey g, a single-storey a with a small ear, and a narrow, high-contrast e. Numerals follow the same Didone-like logic, with thin entry strokes and bold main stems, producing a sharp, print-forward texture at display sizes.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can remain visible: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and book-cover titling. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or section openers, but the strong contrast suggests using it sparingly for longer passages or at very small sizes.
The overall tone is polished and emphatic, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. The dramatic contrast and needle-like hairlines create a sense of fashion branding, refined publishing, and classic prestige rather than casual or utilitarian use.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with traditional, formal structure and striking contrast. Its consistent vertical emphasis and precise serif treatment aim to project elegance and authority in display typography.
In continuous text the sharp contrast creates a sparkling rhythm, with thin strokes receding quickly against the heavy verticals. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same crisp detailing, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a purely upright, display-oriented impression from the specimens provided.
