This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with delicate hairline strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are tall and stately with smooth, classical curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and narrow joins that emphasize a polished, engraved feel. Lowercase forms are compact and controlled, with clean apertures, a two-storey a, and a single-storey g with a generous lower loop; terminals tend toward sharp, slightly calligraphic finishing. Figures are elegant and relatively narrow, with strong contrast and fine details that read best when given adequate size and printing resolution.
Well suited to magazine typography, book jackets, and display applications where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can also work for short passages of text in print or high-resolution digital layouts when set with comfortable spacing and sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a luxury-editorial character that feels at home in high-end branding and cultured publishing. Its thin hairlines and sculpted serifs convey delicacy and confidence, leaning more refined than rugged or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical, high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a premium editorial voice for modern publishing and brand expression.
The rhythm is distinctly vertical, with a calm, even baseline and careful spacing that supports long-form setting, while the dramatic contrast adds sparkle in headings. Hairline diagonals (e.g., in V, W, X) and fine internal counters suggest the design benefits from generous leading and avoids overly small sizes in low-resolution contexts.
