A display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical axis, pairing heavy main strokes with very fine hairline serifs and delicate cross-strokes. Serifs are narrow and sharp, with mostly unbracketed joins that create crisp, engraved-looking edges. The letterforms are fairly broad with sturdy, sculpted bowls (notably in O, Q, C) and compact interior counters that heighten the density at text sizes. Lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a, tall ascenders, and clean, straight-sided stems; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with weight concentrated on verticals.
Best suited for headlines, deck type, and short statements where its contrast and sharp serif detail can be appreciated. It fits magazine and editorial layouts, luxury branding, posters, and premium packaging where a classic, high-fashion voice is desired.
The overall tone is formal and high-impact, conveying an editorial, fashion-forward confidence. Its sharp hairlines and dramatic contrast read as refined and premium, while the heavy verticals add authority and a slightly theatrical presence.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast display serif that merges classic Didone-like refinement with extra weight for contemporary impact. It prioritizes dramatic texture and elegant detail over neutral, continuous reading.
At larger sizes the hairline details feel crisp and elegant, but the tight counters and fine serifs suggest it will look best with generous size and careful spacing. The rhythm is strongly vertical, giving words a stately, columnar texture in headlines.
