A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline strokes and strong thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a pronounced vertical axis and a clean, modern cut, with fine, largely unbracketed serifs and sharp, tapered terminals. Proportions feel balanced and bookish: capitals are tall and stately, lowercase is compact and controlled, and curves (notably in O/C/G and the bowls) are smooth and tightly drawn. Overall rhythm is airy and precise, with delicate joins and a refined, print-like texture at display sizes.
Best suited to display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and premium branding. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts, where the delicate hairlines and fine serifs remain clear.
The tone is polished and elevated, combining classic book typography cues with a fashion-forward sharpness. It reads as formal and composed, with a dramatic sparkle from the thin hairlines and crisp serifs.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant, contemporary Didone-like impression with strong verticality and sharp detailing. The intent appears focused on creating a luxurious, authoritative voice for titles and high-impact typography rather than rugged, low-resolution environments.
In the sample text, the extreme thin strokes and fine serifs create a bright, high-end texture, especially in large sizes and headlines. Numerals appear similarly contrasted and elegant, suited to refined settings where subtle hairlines can be preserved.
