A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines against substantial main strokes and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, with clean bracket transitions that keep forms elegant rather than heavy. Capitals feel tall and sculpted with generous counters (notably in C, O, Q), while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact joins and tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, combining solid stems with delicate finishing strokes for a polished, consistent texture.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style editorial layouts where contrast and elegance are desired. It can also support upscale branding and packaging systems that benefit from a crisp, high-end serif voice. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable when set with adequate size and spacing so the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing convey luxury and formality, with a composed, classical presence that reads as premium and considered.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast book/modern serif model, optimized for impactful typography. It prioritizes elegance, sharp detailing, and a refined rhythm that stands out in display and editorial settings.
In continuous text the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively sparkle, especially around curved letters and diagonals (V, W, X, y). The design favors crisp display clarity, and the finest strokes and serifs become a key part of the visual signature at larger sizes.
