A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Stems are robust while hairlines and serifs fall to very fine, crisp strokes, creating a polished, high-fashion contrast. Serifs are narrow and sharp with minimal bracketing, and terminals tend toward clean, tapered finishes. Proportions feel on the wider side with generous interior counters, giving large sizes an open, sculpted look; the accompanying figures match the letterforms with the same bold main strokes and delicate details.
Well-suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and poster titling where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging that benefit from an elegant, high-end voice; for longer passages, it will perform best when set with ample size and comfortable line spacing.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—confident and ceremonial with a distinctly editorial sheen. Its strong contrast and precise finishing read as formal and composed, lending a sense of tradition with a contemporary, print-forward sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial Didone-like presence: wide, stately forms anchored by strong verticals and accented by extremely fine hairlines. Its visual priority is sophistication and impact rather than utilitarian neutrality, emphasizing crisp detailing and dramatic contrast for display-driven use.
In text, the hairlines and tight serifs create a glittering rhythm and pronounced stroke sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The overall color is relatively light for its cap height because so much of the design resolves into fine connecting strokes, making spacing and background contrast especially noticeable.
