A high-contrast serif with strong thick-to-thin modulation, vertical stress, and crisp, hairline serifs. Capitals are stately and relatively wide, with clean, confident curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and sharply defined intersections. The lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with pronounced ascenders and compact, rounded bowls; several letters feature pointed entry strokes and fine finishing details that create a lively sparkle at text sizes. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in spirit, with elegant curves and thin joins that echo the letterforms’ refined contrast.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, fashion branding, and refined promotional materials. It can also work for short passages in editorial layouts where its crisp contrast and elegant rhythm are supported by appropriate size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting an editorial, luxury sensibility. Its bright hairlines and sharp finishing details add a sense of sophistication and formality, with a distinctly classic, high-fashion voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast reading experience with a distinctly editorial presence: traditional proportions and serif logic, sharpened by fine hairlines and clean terminals to create a luxurious, contemporary finish.
The contrast creates a strong hierarchy between stems and hairlines, producing a shimmering rhythm in running text and very crisp silhouettes in display settings. Diagonals and joins remain precise, and the design maintains a consistent vertical thrust across rounds and straights, helping it feel composed rather than ornate.
