A refined modern serif with pronounced stroke modulation and vertical stress. The design pairs sturdy vertical stems with very thin hairlines and crisp, unbracketed wedge-like serifs, creating a clean, chiseled silhouette. Proportions feel balanced and slightly condensed in the caps, while the lowercase maintains an open, readable rhythm with compact joins and carefully tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with elegant curves and sharp finishing strokes that keep the texture light and precise.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, and large-size display where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It also fits book covers, lookbooks, and premium brand identities that benefit from a poised, high-finish serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, projecting a premium, contemporary-classic voice. Its sharp details and airy color suggest sophistication and a sense of luxury rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-like elegance: crisp serifs, disciplined vertical emphasis, and a bright typographic texture for high-end display and editorial settings.
In text, the strong contrast produces a lively sparkle and clear hierarchy, with capitals that feel stately and controlled. The finer horizontals and thin connecting strokes add delicacy, so the face visually rewards generous sizes and comfortable line spacing.
