A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Hairline serifs and strokes stay crisp and straight, with minimal bracketing and sharp, clean joins. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow, while bowls and rounds (C, O, Q) feel open and smoothly drawn, creating a bright, airy color in text. Lowercase shows a traditional serif structure with a two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and a balanced, readable rhythm; numerals follow the same refined contrast, with delicate curves and fine terminals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and elegant titling where the contrast can shine. It also works well for magazine and book display typography, brand systems for beauty or luxury goods, and premium packaging or labels that benefit from a refined serif presence.
The tone is polished and cultured, conveying luxury and restraint rather than warmth or informality. Its strong contrast and razor-fine details create a sense of sophistication associated with high-end editorial and fashion contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-didone-like sense of elegance through vertical stress, crisp serifs, and dramatic stroke modulation, optimizing for visual impact and a sophisticated editorial texture.
At larger sizes the hairlines and serifs read as intentionally delicate, giving headlines a dramatic sparkle; in dense settings the contrast produces a light overall texture. The design maintains consistent proportions across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive typographic voice.
