A high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical, Didone-like structure and very fine hairlines. Strokes shift dramatically from thick verticals to razor-thin horizontals, with crisp, unbracketed serifs and tight, clean joins. Proportions feel tall and elegant, with a comparatively small x-height and prominent capitals; counters are smooth and open, while curves in letters like C, G, O, and S show a controlled, polished rhythm. Numerals match the text color and contrast, with refined, delicate details and consistent alignment.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and brand marks where its contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits formal applications like invitations and certificates, particularly when set with comfortable spacing and at sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its sharp contrast and formal detailing communicate authority and ceremony more than casual warmth, evoking classic print refinement.
Likely drawn to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion typography, emphasizing elegance, verticality, and a refined print-like finish. The short lowercase height and commanding capitals suggest a focus on hierarchy and headline presence.
In paragraph settings the strong thick–thin modulation creates a bright, sparkling texture, especially where hairline crossbars and serifs line up across a line. The design rewards generous sizes and good rendering conditions where the finest strokes can remain intact.
