A high-contrast serif with a pronounced vertical stress and crisp hairline detailing. The design combines sturdy vertical stems with very thin connecting strokes and delicate, unbracketed serifs, giving counters a clean, carved feel. Many glyphs show squared or flattened curves (notably in rounded letters and numerals), producing a slightly geometric, poster-like rigidity within an otherwise classical serif structure. Overall spacing reads open and measured, with a steady baseline rhythm and clear, upright construction.
Best suited to magazine and book editorial settings, fashion and cultural headlines, and brand marks that need a premium, classic voice. It also works well for invitations, packaging, and poster typography where high contrast can be showcased at larger sizes.
The tone is poised and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and formal proportions evoke luxury, tradition, and high-end print culture, while the slightly squared round forms add a modern, structured edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-like experience: dramatic contrast and hairline precision for sophisticated display typography, tempered by squarer curves that improve graphic impact and distinctiveness in titles and short passages.
The distinctive mix of hairline finesse and blocky, squared bowls makes the font feel both refined and graphic. Numerals follow the same contrast and crisp serif treatment, with clear, display-friendly silhouettes that maintain the family’s sharp, vertical emphasis.
