This serif typeface features an emphatically contrasted stroke structure with robust verticals and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, reading as mostly unbracketed, with crisp, blade-like terminals that heighten the sense of precision. Curves are sculpted and controlled with a clear vertical stress, and counters stay relatively compact, giving the forms a tailored, high-end rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and calm, while lowercase shows classic book-like construction with a double-storey a and g and a narrow, tapering r, maintaining a consistent, polished texture across text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where high contrast can be showcased. It performs especially well in large sizes for titles, pull quotes, and elegant packaging or campaign work, where the fine serifs and hairlines read as intentional detail.
The overall tone is elegant and high-fashion, projecting sophistication and authority through dramatic contrast and razor-fine detailing. It feels contemporary-classic: poised and luxurious rather than warm or rustic, with a deliberate, display-forward presence.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern Didone-like elegance with strong vertical emphasis and refined detailing, prioritizing impact and sophistication in display settings while retaining enough classic structure for controlled editorial use.
The design’s thin horizontal and diagonal strokes create striking sparkle in larger sizes, while the strong verticals keep word shapes stable. Numerals match the refined, editorial voice, with high-contrast forms and carefully tapered curves that align visually with the capitals.
