A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a vertical, upright stance. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a crisp, engraved feel and minimal bracketing; joins and terminals often resolve into delicate hairlines. Proportions run generously wide, giving capitals a statuesque presence and creating airy spacing in display settings. Bowls and curves are smooth and controlled, while some letters feature subtle, calligraphic-like terminal flicks that add sophistication without becoming ornamental.
Best suited for headlines, magazine spreads, fashion and beauty applications, and sophisticated branding where contrast and elegance are an asset. It can also work for short pull quotes or large-format signage, particularly when ample size and good print/screen quality preserve the fine hairline detailing.
The overall tone is refined and luxurious, with a poised, formal character suited to premium editorial and cultural contexts. Its dramatic contrast and wide stance project confidence and ceremony, reading as modern-classic rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-like luxury impression: striking contrast, crisp hairlines, and expansive proportions that create a memorable, premium voice in display typography.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline details become a prominent stylistic feature, especially in smaller counters and at joins, which suggests it is most comfortable when given sufficient size and clean reproduction. The numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and elegance, with similarly delicate hairline moments that echo the capitals.
