A high-contrast serif with prominent thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs that read largely unbracketed. The letterforms favor verticals and clean, straight stems, with tapered joins and pointed, knife-like terminals that create a polished, engraved feel. Uppercase proportions are generous and stately, while lowercase forms are compact and orderly, with a single-storey “g” and a calligraphic, left-hooking descender on “y.” Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with refined curves and delicate entry/exit strokes that keep the figures lively without adding ornament.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial pulls or subheads where the crisp contrast and fine serifs have enough size to remain clean and confident.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a distinctly editorial voice. Its sharp contrast and precise finishing suggest sophistication and drama rather than warmth, lending itself to high-end, cultured messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with dramatic contrast and meticulously sharpened details. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact, aiming for a contemporary editorial feel rooted in traditional Didone-style structure.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and thin connecting strokes produce a bright, stylish rhythm, especially at larger sizes. The italics are not shown; the sample indicates a consistently upright, high-clarity construction across both display lines and mixed-case settings.
