A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline serifs, and a largely vertical stress. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, with generous counters and a smooth, even rhythm across rounds like C, O, and Q. The lowercase shows compact, calligraphic detailing—single-storey a and g with delicate terminals and a flowing, looped g—paired with narrow joins and sharp, clean finishing. Numerals are similarly refined, with thin horizontals and crisp curves that keep the overall texture bright and spacious at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other display settings where high contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal materials such as invitations, where a classic, elevated serif voice is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and poised, projecting a cultured, upscale character associated with magazine typography and luxury branding. Its airy hairlines and sculpted curves give it a formal, boutique feel rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxury-leaning take on a classic high-contrast book-and-magazine serif, emphasizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and refined typographic sparkle in larger sizes.
The design relies on fine details—especially in terminals, serifs, and the thinnest strokes—so its personality is most apparent when there is enough size or printing fidelity to preserve the hairlines. The mix of stately capitals and more expressive lowercase adds a subtle ornamental edge without becoming overtly decorative.
