A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and sharp, with a largely unbracketed feel and needle-like finishing on many strokes. Curves show a clear vertical stress, and round letters (O, C, G) maintain a clean, polished contour with thin connecting strokes. Capitals are stately and wide-set with strong thick–thin rhythm, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish construction with a double-storey a and compact, neatly terminated bowls. Numerals follow the same contrast model, mixing sturdy verticals with slender cross-strokes and tapered terminals for a cohesive text-and-display texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large editorial typography where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, particularly when used with ample tracking and comfortable line spacing. For longer reading, it will perform most confidently in print-like settings and at sizes where hairlines are not compromised.
The overall tone is sophisticated and formal, with a distinctly modern-luxury sheen. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing convey refinement, authority, and an editorial sensibility, leaning toward high-end print culture rather than utilitarian UI use.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-like glamour: strong vertical structure, dramatic thick–thin modulation, and crisp serif detailing that reads as premium and editorial. It balances a formal capital presence with a restrained, readable lowercase to support both display composition and refined text styling.
In continuous text, the alternating thick and hairline strokes create a lively, shimmering rhythm; the design benefits from generous size and breathing room so the fine details remain clear. The italic is not shown, and the displayed set emphasizes a clean, upright, fashion-forward voice.
