A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and finely tapered hairlines. Stems are substantial and upright, while cross-strokes and serifs drop to very thin, giving a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Serifs are sharp and delicate rather than slabby, with minimal bracketing and a generally clean, controlled finish. Curves show strong thick–thin modulation; counters stay fairly open, and the overall rhythm reads formal and deliberate, with slightly varied glyph widths that add a traditional, text-like cadence.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its thin hairlines can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with adequate print or screen rendering, and performs well in premium packaging and identity systems that benefit from a polished, high-end voice.
The tone is elegant and assertive, combining a refined, fashion-forward polish with a classical print sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing suggest sophistication and ceremony, leaning more boutique/editorial than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-didone-like contrast and poise for impactful typography. It prioritizes elegance, verticality, and refined detail, aiming for strong presence in display composition while retaining a familiar, classical serif structure.
Uppercase forms feel stately and structured, while the lowercase introduces a bit more calligraphic character in bowls and terminals. Numerals follow the same display-minded contrast, with sculpted curves and thin joins that stand out at larger sizes.
