A refined serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show crisp bracketed serifs, narrow joins, and clean vertical stress, with generous counters and a relatively open rhythm in text. Curves are drawn with a smooth, sculpted feel (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals), while diagonals and stems maintain a consistent, polished tension. The figures appear lining with strong contrast and distinctive shapes, pairing well with the formal tone of the capitals and the more bookish, slightly calligraphic lowercase.
Well suited for magazine layouts, book typography, and other editorial contexts where a sophisticated serif voice is desired. It can deliver striking presence in headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes, and also works for premium branding and printed collateral such as invitations or programs where fine detail is an asset.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking classic publishing and high-end editorial typography. Its high-contrast sparkle and fine details give it a dressy, boutique sensibility, while the conventional proportions keep it grounded and readable in composed settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a traditional, high-contrast serif: crisp, luxurious, and articulate, while maintaining familiar construction for continuous reading. Its careful modulation and sharp finishing suggest an emphasis on elegance and typographic color rather than rugged versatility.
In larger sizes the hairline features and sharp serifs become a defining aesthetic, giving headlines a bright, engraved-like finish. The design balances display-level elegance with a steady, text-like cadence, making it feel formal without becoming ornamental.
