A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, strong thick-to-thin transitions, and razor-fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and clean with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a crisp, cut-in look rather than a softened, calligraphic join. The letterforms feel generously proportioned with ample interior space and a steady, refined rhythm; round characters (O, C, G) show smooth, polished curves while diagonals (V, W, X) taper to delicate terminals. Lowercase forms are classic and readable, with compact, controlled apertures and elegant, tapering joins; numerals follow the same sculpted contrast with thin crossbars and sturdy verticals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and display settings where contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits brand marks, premium packaging, invitations, and poster work that benefit from an elevated, classical voice; use with care at small sizes where hairlines may soften.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting sophistication and a sense of luxury. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing lend it a premium, fashion-forward voice while still reading as traditionally bookish and established.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-style elegance: crisp, high-contrast shapes, disciplined vertical stress, and a composed typographic rhythm for statement typography in editorial and brand contexts.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered terminals become a defining feature, creating sparkle and a refined texture. In dense settings, the thin strokes and tight details can become visually fragile compared with the heavier stems, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect the perceived color.
