A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Hairline serifs are sharp and delicate, while main stems are confidently weighted, creating a crisp, glossy rhythm across text. Capitals are tall and stately with clean, open counters; diagonals in letters like V and W taper to fine points, and curves show tight, controlled transitions. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with narrow joins and thin cross-strokes, producing an overall light-footed texture that remains structured and formal.
Well suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and high-end branding where the sharp hairlines and strong contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form body text in print or high-resolution digital settings when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone is polished and upscale, evoking fashion publishing and classic book typography with a slightly theatrical, high-drama contrast. It feels formal and poised rather than friendly, leaning into sophistication and prestige.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-like elegance: strong verticals, razor-thin serifs, and disciplined proportions aimed at premium editorial and brand applications where contrast and refinement communicate authority and luxury.
The numerals mirror the same contrast and refinement, with thin horizontals and strong verticals that read well at larger sizes. In the sample text, the hairlines and terminals create a shimmering, refined sparkle, suggesting best performance where adequate size and resolution can preserve the fine details.
