A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline finishing details. Stems are sturdy but not heavy, while cross-strokes and serifs taper to very fine points, creating a sharp light–dark rhythm. Proportions feel expansive with generous horizontal spread and open, rounded bowls; spacing appears comfortable and even, supporting a smooth line texture in continuous reading. Terminals and serifs are clean and minimally bracketed, with occasional subtle flaring and delicate tapered joins that emphasize a polished, contemporary-didone flavor.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline details and dramatic contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and high-end packaging. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions, but the finest strokes suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution output.
The overall tone is poised and premium, projecting sophistication and restraint. Its sharp contrast and airy detailing read as fashion-forward and editorial, while the classic serif skeleton keeps it formal and literate rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice built on classical proportions, emphasizing crisp contrast, wide presence, and a smooth, upscale rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Uppercase forms present a stately presence with calm, symmetrical geometry, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and balanced counters. Numerals mirror the same contrast logic, with fine entry/exit strokes and rounded forms that feel suited to display settings.
