This serif displays a high-contrast, didone-leaning construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and taut with a mostly vertical stress, while straight stems read firm and upright. Serifs are narrow and sharply finished, with subtle bracketing in places, giving the letterforms a crisp, polished edge. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with compact counters and a steady rhythm that holds together well in continuous setting.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine headlines, and refined branding where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work for book typography and pull quotes, especially at sizes where the hairlines remain clear, delivering a polished, high-end typographic voice.
The overall tone is refined and formal, projecting a sense of luxury and editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and clean finish give it a poised, fashion-and-magazine character while still feeling rooted in traditional book typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif with classic roots—combining a fashionable, display-ready sparkle with proportions and rhythm that remain comfortable for composed text.
Uppercase forms present strong, sculpted silhouettes (notably in the round letters) that emphasize contrast and verticality. The lowercase shows classic text-serifs cues—compact bowls, clear joins, and decisive terminals—supporting consistent word shapes. Numerals match the same contrast and serif treatment, keeping the typographic color cohesive across mixed-content settings.
