A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, crisp main stems, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, giving the outlines a clean, cut-in look rather than a softly modeled one. Proportions run on the broad side with generous sidebearings and a steady rhythm; curves are smoothly drawn with controlled modulation, and joins stay precise. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with relatively tall ascenders, while capitals are stately and open, contributing to an airy overall color.
Best suited to display typography where its thin hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, editorial titling, book and album covers, and high-end brand identities. It can also work for short passages in larger sizes where the wide proportions and open spacing help maintain clarity.
The font reads polished and authoritative, with a fashion-and-publishing sensibility. Its pronounced contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of drama and luxury, while the upright stance keeps it composed and traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif: wide, poised letterforms with crisp detailing that create an elegant, editorial voice and strong headline presence.
Several glyphs feature distinctive, slightly squared curve treatments (notably in rounded letters and figures), lending a subtly modern edge within an otherwise classical, Didone-leaning texture. Numerals appear lining and share the same contrast and crisp terminals, matching the text’s refined tone.
