A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and crisp, hairline serifs. The capitals feel stately and relatively wide with sharp apexes and clean, straight-sided stems, while rounds (C, O, Q) show elegant tension between heavy verticals and fine connecting hairlines. Lowercase forms keep a traditional book-face structure with a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and tapered terminals; the overall rhythm is clean and disciplined rather than calligraphically loose. Numerals follow the same contrast model, pairing sturdy main strokes with delicate finishing details for a polished, print-like texture.
Best suited to display and editorial applications such as headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and premium branding where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It can work for short text passages in well-controlled print or high-resolution settings, but it will look most confident when given enough size and breathing room.
The font reads as refined and formal, with an editorial, fashion-forward tone. Its stark contrast and hairline detailing create a sense of luxury and drama, suited to high-end, carefully typeset environments.
The design intent appears to be a modern, high-contrast serif that evokes classic Didone-inspired elegance while staying crisp and contemporary in its detailing. It aims to deliver a strong, prestigious voice for titles and showcase typography.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and small details that become visually prominent at larger sizes, while the heavier verticals maintain a strong typographic spine. Spacing appears comfortable in text, producing a bright, airy color typical of high-contrast serifs.
