A refined modern serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a clear vertical axis. Thick vertical stems contrast with extremely thin hairlines and cross-strokes, producing a crisp, glossy rhythm. Serifs are small and sharply cut with minimal bracketing, and terminals tend toward clean, tapered endings. Capitals feel tall and statuesque with generous interior space, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height and delicate joins; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with very fine details.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and elegant packaging. It can work for short pulls, titles, and large-size editorial text where the hairlines and contrast are preserved and the page can support generous spacing.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, balancing classical restraint with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and airy hairlines give it a cultured, editorial voice suited to premium contexts rather than utilitarian reading.
Likely drawn to deliver a contemporary Didone-style impression: high contrast, crisp finishing, and a premium editorial presence. The forms prioritize sophistication and visual drama over rugged versatility, aiming for impact in large, curated settings.
Spacing appears intentionally open, which helps the thin elements breathe in display sizes. The design leans on long verticals and slender horizontals, so very small settings or low-resolution reproduction may reduce the visibility of the finest strokes.
