This serif has a distinctly modern Didone-style structure with extremely thin hairlines set against bold vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed, giving terminals a crisp, chiseled finish. Round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation and tight, polished curves, while many capitals (notably E, F, T, and L) emphasize strong verticals and delicate cross-strokes. Lowercase forms keep a relatively traditional skeleton with compact, sculpted bowls and fine connecting strokes, producing a bright, high-contrast texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, and branding where its sharp contrast can be showcased. It can also work for short editorial passages and opening paragraphs when set with generous size, leading, and careful spacing to preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, with a dramatic contrast that reads as fashion-forward and editorial. Its crisp detailing and sleek proportions convey sophistication and formality rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, fashion-oriented interpretation of classic high-contrast serifs—prioritizing elegance, impact, and a polished page color for display and editorial typography.
In the sample text, the strong vertical rhythm and hairline joins create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same display-leaning logic, with slender horizontals and confident thick strokes that stand out in headings and pull quotes.
