A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very fine hairlines, creating a crisp, shimmering rhythm across text. Serifs are sharp and relatively delicate, with little visible bracketing, and the joins and terminals feel clean and decisive. Proportions read slightly expanded with generous counters, giving capitals a stately presence while lowercase maintains a steady, readable structure. Overall spacing feels open, helping the heavy–thin interplay stay clear in both the alphabet grid and the text sample.
Best suited for magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, luxury branding, and packaging where high contrast and sharp serifs can be shown at generous sizes. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and enough size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The font projects an editorial, high-fashion tone with a classic, authoritative voice. Its pronounced thick–thin transitions and refined serifs suggest luxury and ceremony, while the broad proportions add confidence and display impact. The overall impression is polished and intentional rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a modern didone-style impact: dramatic contrast, vertical emphasis, and a refined, premium feel. The expanded stance and crisp finishing appear aimed at commanding attention in display and editorial contexts while retaining a composed, classical typographic character.
Round letters (like O, C, and e) emphasize vertical stress, and several forms show sharply cut hairlines that can become visually prominent at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that read as refined details rather than utilitarian features.
