A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong vertical stems, showing a clear vertical stress and elegant modulation. Serifs are fine and tapered, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins smooth rather than abrupt. Proportions feel fairly narrow in many capitals with generous counters, while curves (C, G, O, S) are clean and taut. The lowercase has compact, tidy forms with a two-storey a and g, a modestly sized x-height, and delicate terminals that stay sharp at the ends of strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with thin connecting strokes and solid verticals for a polished, editorial rhythm.
Well suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, cover lines, book and film titles, and brand wordmarks where elegance is a priority. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and refined printed materials like invitations when set with adequate size and spacing to preserve the thin details.
The tone is sophisticated and polished, projecting a classic, high-end sensibility associated with magazines, cultural institutions, and luxury branding. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing give it a confident, formal voice that reads as premium and deliberate rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical text-serif model, emphasizing elegance through pronounced stroke contrast and finely cut serifs. It aims for an editorial, prestige-oriented voice that pairs traditional structure with a clean, modern sharpness.
In longer text, the rhythm is driven by strong verticals and sparkling hairlines, creating an elegant page color at display sizes. The design’s fine details and thin horizontals suggest it will look best where rendering is clean and sizes are not too small.
