A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a clean, contemporary interpretation of classical forms. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and vertical stems read as steady and formal, while diagonals and joins stay crisp. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a narrow, lightly bracketed rhythm, and long, slender ascenders/descenders; numerals follow the same refined contrast, with an elegant, curved 2 and a looped 8.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine titles, section heads, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where fine contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text in high-quality print or high-resolution digital layouts, especially when paired with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and contemporary editorial typography. Its lightness and sharp detailing convey sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary Didone-like elegance: crisp geometry, controlled proportions, and dramatic contrast for premium, image-forward typography. It prioritizes visual refinement and headline impact over ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
At text sizes the extreme contrast and hairline serifs create a shimmering texture, making spacing and line breaks feel especially important. The italic/oblique is not shown; the sample relies on roman forms to carry emphasis through contrast and proportion.
