This serif presents tall, poised letterforms with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline finishing. Serifs are finely tapered and largely bracketed, with sharp, clean terminals that give the strokes a polished edge. Round glyphs (C, O, G) are smoothly modeled with narrow thins and fuller verticals, while the overall texture alternates between bold stems and delicate joining strokes for a sparkling page color. The lowercase shows a classical structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact, controlled x-height, and slightly calligraphic entry/exit shaping that keeps the rhythm lively without becoming decorative.
It performs best in display and editorial contexts—magazine titles, pull quotes, section heads, and sophisticated brand marks—where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also support short bursts of text in premium layouts when given sufficient size and generous spacing.
The tone is refined and high-end, with an editorial sophistication that reads as luxurious and composed. The strong contrast and precise finishing add a sense of drama and formality, evoking fashion publishing, cultural institutions, and premium branding.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic modern serif: maximizing contrast and precision to deliver a glamorous, publication-ready voice while maintaining conventional proportions and familiar text-serif construction.
At larger sizes the hairlines and small interior details become a defining feature, creating crisp elegance and strong hierarchy in headlines. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with slender horizontals and sculpted curves that harmonize with the caps.
