A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. The capitals are tall and composed, with clean, bracketless-looking serifs and a distinctly vertical stress that keeps rounds (C, O, Q) feeling poised and formal. Lowercase forms are compact and controlled, with clear two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and crisp terminals that maintain a consistent, polished rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate joins and prominent vertical stems that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, cultural editorial design, and book jackets where a sophisticated serif voice is needed. It excels in headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments, and can also serve as a refined companion for branding systems that want a classic, high-end tone.
The overall tone is sophisticated and traditional, with a distinctly editorial, bookish character. Its high-contrast sparkle and precise finishing lend it a premium, fashion-and-culture sensibility while still feeling grounded in classical typographic conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classical serif voice: crisp, high-contrast forms that feel luxurious and authoritative, while keeping familiar text-serif structures for comfortable reading in larger text settings. Its consistent stress and precise terminals suggest an emphasis on elegance and typographic polish for editorial environments.
Spacing and proportions feel designed for text-to-display versatility: capitals remain stately without becoming overly wide, while the lowercase maintains an even color despite the pronounced contrast. The fine serifs and hairlines suggest it will look best when printing or rendering conditions are favorable, especially as sizes get smaller.
