A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. Hairline horizontals and very fine connecting strokes contrast with sturdy vertical stems, creating a crisp, sparkling texture. Serifs are sharp and tapered with minimal bracketing, and the curves (notably in O/Q and the bowls of B/P/R) are smooth and controlled. Proportions run slightly wide in capitals, while lowercase shows moderate widths and a normal reading rhythm; spacing feels open, with punctuation and numerals drawn with similarly sharp, calligraphic contrast.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where the sharp contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It performs especially well in fashion, luxury, and culture-forward editorial contexts, and can add a formal, premium tone to posters and packaging when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, leaning toward classic magazine typography and formal display. The extreme finesse of the hairlines reads as sophisticated and high-end, with a cool, composed authority rather than a warm or rustic feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-like elegance: dramatic contrast, clean vertical emphasis, and crisp finishing that reads as premium and contemporary in display typography.
The design’s thin strokes are visually delicate in smaller sizes, while large sizes emphasize the dramatic contrast and sculpted terminals. Uppercase forms feel particularly stately and monumental, and the italics are not shown, reinforcing a straightforward, upright, editorial voice.
