A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a vertical stress, pairing crisp, hairline serifs with weighty main stems. The serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, and several letters show tapered joins and small wedge-like endings that heighten the engraved, fashion-style feel. Lowercase forms are compact with a steady, normal x-height; counters are relatively tight, while apertures stay clean enough to keep words legible at display-to-text sizes. Numerals echo the same contrast and refinement, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes.
Well suited for magazine typography, fashion and culture headlines, and brand identities that need a refined, high-impact serif. It also fits posters, premium packaging, and pull quotes where dramatic contrast and sharp detail can be shown at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and commanding, with a distinctly editorial, premium voice. Its sharp contrast and refined hairlines read as elegant and formal, leaning toward classic print sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-didone-style contrast serif presence: strong verticals, delicate hairlines, and crisp finishing to project sophistication and authority in display and editorial settings.
Stroke contrast is especially evident in round letters (C, O, Q, e, o) where hairline arcs meet heavy verticals, creating a lively rhythm. The lowercase includes noticeable ball-like terminals and tapered details (notably in a, f, j, y), adding a subtle calligraphic flavor without becoming script-like.
