This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical, polished rhythm. Thick stems pair with extremely thin hairlines and sharp, bracketed serifs, producing crisp joins and pointed finishing strokes. Capitals feel tall and stately, with wide, open counters (notably in C, G, and O) and a clean, controlled geometry. The lowercase maintains a traditional text-seriffed structure with compact, precise curves, a two-storey a, and a double-storey g; overall spacing reads measured and even, supporting continuous reading while retaining a display-like sparkle.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial typography, pull quotes, and elegant headline systems where high contrast can shine. It also fits book titles, luxury branding, and refined packaging or identity applications that benefit from a poised, classic serif voice.
The overall tone is refined and cultivated, evoking luxury editorial typography and classic bookish authority. Its delicate hairlines and knife-like serifs add a sophisticated, fashion-forward edge, while the conventional letterforms keep it grounded and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened contrast for a more glamorous, high-end presence. It balances familiar proportions and letter structures with sharp, delicate detailing to project sophistication in both display and text settings.
The numeral set matches the letterforms’ contrast and delicacy, with slender connecting strokes and elegant curves (especially in 2, 3, and 9). At larger sizes the fine details read particularly crisp, while the thinnest strokes suggest it will look best when given adequate size and clean reproduction.
