This serif has a distinctly Didone-leaning structure with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline serifs, and crisp, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow joins and a polished, high-fashion rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide in their bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with compact counters and a relatively restrained x-height. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant, fine strokes and sharp finishing details.
It performs best in editorial design and display typography where contrast and refinement are assets—magazine headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, book or report covers, and premium branding. In longer text, it suits comfortable reading sizes and well-printed environments where the fine details can remain intact.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, projecting a premium, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and delicate finishing convey sophistication and formality, with a subtly dramatic presence suited to upscale contexts.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary, high-contrast text serif that blends classical proportions with a fashion-forward sharpness. It aims for elegance and authority while maintaining a composed, literary texture in running copy.
In paragraph settings the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, airy color and a distinctly vertical, disciplined rhythm. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright with consistent stress and clean alignment.
