A delicate, high‑contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and very thin hairlines that give the forms an airy, engraved look. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered with minimal bracketing, and terminals tend toward crisp, calligraphic cutoffs rather than rounded endings. Capitals are tall and stately with wide internal counters, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish rhythm with slender stems and clear, open apertures. Figures are elegant and varied in width, matching the text’s refined contrast and light construction.
Best suited to editorial design, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented branding where high contrast and fine detail can be appreciated. It performs especially well at display sizes and in spacious layouts where hairlines won’t be visually crowded.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking fashion/editorial typography and traditional print refinement. Its crisp hairlines and stately proportions communicate sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classical high-contrast serif construction, emphasizing elegance, crispness, and a premium feel in headlines and refined typographic settings.
In text, the thin connecting strokes and sharp serifs create a bright texture with noticeable sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample presented reads as a formal roman with a distinctly modernized Didone-like clarity.
