A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, alternating thick main stems and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing and a crisp, engraved feel. Many curves show sculpted weight placement and occasional cut-in notches or teardrop-like joins that add sparkle at display sizes. Proportions vary noticeably across letters, with narrow, towering forms alongside wider, more decorative shapes, creating an animated rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short display lines where the fine hairlines can remain crisp. It can add an upscale, editorial voice to branding, packaging, invitations, and poster work, especially when paired with generous spacing and clean supporting type.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic—more runway and magazine than neutral text. Its bright hairlines and sculpted curves give it a luxurious, slightly theatrical presence that reads as classic but intentionally stylized.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a Didone-style model with added sculptural quirks—accentuating contrast, verticality, and sharp detailing to create a memorable display serif for contemporary editorial and brand settings.
Round letters (like O/Q and 0/8/9) emphasize contrast through bold inner shading and very fine outer strokes, producing a distinctive, almost carved look. Lowercase includes tall ascenders and prominent, round i-dots, which further push it toward display usage and a curated, boutique personality.
