A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines against weighty vertical stems and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharply finished with subtle bracketing, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. The capitals are poised and spacious, with elegant curves in C, G, and S and a controlled, stately rhythm across words. Lowercase forms stay disciplined and readable, with clean joins and tapered strokes; the italic is not shown, and the roman maintains a polished, print-like texture. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate connecting hairlines.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book jackets where an elegant, high-contrast serif can carry hierarchy and tone. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications, particularly when set at medium to large sizes where its hairline detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, leaning toward luxury and tradition rather than casual friendliness. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing evoke bookish authority and high-end publishing aesthetics, delivering a composed, formal voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classic, high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing elegance, clarity of form, and a premium printed feel. Its measured proportions and crisp finishing suggest a focus on confident, high-status communication for editorial and display contexts.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation produces a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and serifs become a key part of the character. The design reads with a deliberate, classic pacing, and the punctuation and capitals help create a ceremonious, title-ready presence.
