A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving stems a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, often subtly bracketed, while terminals show delicate teardrops and tapered finishes. The caps are tall and poised with elegant diagonals (notably in A, V, W, Y) and crisp joins, and the overall rhythm is smooth and slightly expansive in the round forms. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and long, clean ascenders and descenders that add vertical elegance.
Best suited to display sizes such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where the hairlines can remain intact. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal invitations that benefit from a refined, high-contrast serif voice.
The tone is polished and high-end, with an editorial, fashion-forward crispness. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing convey sophistication and ceremony, leaning toward classic bookish prestige rather than casual utility.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary-didone style of elegance: strong vertical presence, dramatic contrast, and meticulous finishing details that elevate short text. The overall intention favors sophisticated presentation and typographic refinement over rugged, small-size neutrality.
The design relies heavily on hairline elements—crossbars, serifs, and internal joins—so spacing and reproduction size will noticeably affect clarity. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin entry strokes and curving joins that match the text’s calligraphic contrast.
