A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong, vertical main stems. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, generally bracketed, with pointed terminals that give the outlines a cut, polished feel. Counters are relatively compact and the joins are clean, producing a tight, controlled rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a conventional, bookish construction with a modest x-height and clear differentiation in forms, while capitals are stately and slightly narrow with pronounced thick–thin transitions.
This style excels in headlines, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where contrast and elegance are desirable. It also suits luxury branding and book or film titles, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairline details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and formal, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-oriented sophistication. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing create a sense of drama and prestige, reading as classic rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, contemporary-didone-like refinement for prominent typography, balancing traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and crisp finishing for impactful display and editorial use.
In larger sizes the hairlines and tapered terminals become a key part of the personality, especially in letters like C, S, and the diagonals of V/W/X. Numerals match the same high-contrast logic, with sculpted curves and delicate finishing strokes that reinforce a polished, display-ready character.
