A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a vertical, high-fashion rhythm. Hairline serifs and needle-like terminals contrast with robust main stems, creating a crisp silhouette and a distinctly “Didone” feel. Curves are clean and controlled, with smooth round forms and tight joins; counters stay open but are framed by strong stroke contrast. Uppercase proportions are stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish cadence with compact bowls and finely tapered entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing bold spines with delicate hairlines for a poised, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine and editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short blocks of text or introductions where a sophisticated, high-contrast voice is desired and reproduction conditions support its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting confidence, tradition, and editorial sophistication. Its sharp, high-contrast detailing feels glamorous and modern-classic rather than casual or rustic, making it read as intentional and curated.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial serif with pronounced contrast and sharp finishing, emphasizing elegance and authority in prominent sizes. It prioritizes a sleek, cultivated texture and stylish letterforms that stand out in branding and headline contexts.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and thin serifs read as precise and luxurious, while in denser settings the contrast becomes the dominant visual feature and can make the texture feel sparkling and airy. The design relies on clean geometry and consistent stroke logic, giving it a smooth, controlled flow across both all-caps and mixed-case text.
