A display-oriented serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, largely unbracketed hairline serifs. The letterforms are wide and stately with generous counters and smooth, rounded bowls that contrast sharply with razor-thin connecting strokes. Terminals often resolve into pointed wedges or teardrop/ball-like details (notably in lowercase such as a, f, g, r, y), adding a refined, calligraphic edge to otherwise rigid geometry. Overall rhythm is vertical and formal, with confident caps, compact joins, and strong black shapes that hold up well at large sizes.
Best for headlines, mastheads, and large-format editorial typography where its contrast and wide proportions can be showcased. It also fits premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from a formal, high-fashion serif voice, and works well for short promotional lines or pull quotes.
The tone is polished and high-drama, evoking couture editorials, luxury packaging, and classic headline typography. Its sharp contrast and sculpted curves feel elegant and slightly theatrical, projecting authority and sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast serif for impactful display work, combining classic Didone-style structure with expressive terminal details to increase personality and sophistication.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast language with prominent wedge-like strokes and delicate hairlines, giving them a poster-ready presence. In running sample text, the dense strokes and fine serifs create a striking texture best suited to larger settings where the hairlines can breathe.
