This serif face is built on a strongly vertical, high-contrast structure with hairline horizontals and thick, straight main stems. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, and terminals often end in crisp, tapered points that give the outlines a chiseled, cut-paper feel. Proportions run on the narrow side with a tall, compact rhythm, while counters are relatively tight, contributing to a dense, high-impact texture in text. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and numerals) show pronounced thick–thin transitions and a disciplined, upright axis, keeping the overall silhouette formal and controlled.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style layouts, and brand moments that benefit from high contrast and a refined, high-end voice. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing, and it excels in posters and packaging where dramatic typographic texture is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, pairing refined hairlines with a slightly severe, theatrical presence. It reads as classic and upscale, with a fashion/editorial sensibility that feels curated rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a modernized, didone-like elegance: strong vertical stems, razor-thin hairlines, and sharp serifs that create a polished, premium impression. Its narrow proportions and high contrast prioritize visual authority and sophistication in display typography.
The design’s crisp joins and pointed terminals make it especially striking at display sizes, where the contrast and fine details are most legible. In longer lines, the compact rhythm and tight interior spaces create a dark, high-ink color that emphasizes formality and impact.
