A high-contrast serif with weighty vertical stems and crisp hairline joins, showing a clear Modern/Didone influence. Serifs are fine and sharply finished with subtle bracketing, while curves are smooth and taut, producing a polished, sculpted rhythm. Uppercase proportions read broad and stable, with compact interior counters in letters like B, R, and S, and a strongly rounded O. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure with sturdy stems and delicate entry/exit strokes; the i/j use round dots, and the g is single-storey with a pronounced ear. Numerals are sturdy and display-like, with strong thick–thin modulation and compact apertures that hold up at larger sizes.
This font is best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, and other large-size applications where its hairline serifs and strong contrast can be appreciated. It can also serve in refined branding, packaging, and campaign work that benefits from a classic, high-end serif voice.
The overall tone is refined and formal, with a dramatic, fashion-forward contrast that signals prestige and confidence. Its sharp hairlines and controlled curves evoke a classic print tradition while feeling crisp and contemporary in bold settings.
The design appears intended as a bold, high-contrast serif for display typography, balancing classical letterform conventions with sharper, more dramatic finishing. Its emphasis on thick–thin modulation and crisp terminals suggests an aim for premium editorial impact and strong typographic presence.
Spacing appears on the generous side for a display serif, helping dense strokes stay legible in headlines. Several terminals show subtle flare and pointed finishing (notably on C, S, and a), reinforcing a crisp editorial texture rather than a soft book face.
