A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines against weighty vertical stems and crisp, bracketed serifs. The overall construction follows a classical, Didone-leaning rhythm: upright stance, vertical stress, and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Capitals are tall and stately with clean, flat serifs, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and energetic terminals, including teardrop/ball-like details on several letters. Numerals are similarly contrasty, with elegant curves and fine entry strokes that read as display-oriented at smaller sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand marks where strong contrast and refined detail can be appreciated. It can also work well for posters and luxury-leaning packaging when set with generous size and careful spacing to preserve the hairline features.
The tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashion/editorial confidence that feels ceremonial and premium. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing give it a cultivated, high-end voice suited to sophisticated messaging rather than casual everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif impression with pronounced contrast and crisp finishing, prioritizing elegance and impact in display settings while retaining familiar, conventional letterforms.
Spacing appears intentionally tight in the sample setting, emphasizing a dense, confident texture and strong vertical rhythm. The italic is not shown; the displayed style relies on upright forms with expressive terminals and a distinctly engraved feel in curves and joints.
