A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline finishing strokes and sharply tapered terminals. The letterforms show a classical, calligraphic construction: curved strokes swell subtly into thin joins, and serifs read as fine, triangular wedges rather than heavy brackets. Uppercase proportions feel stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and pointed apexes, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with slender stems, compact shoulders, and a two-storey a and g. Overall spacing appears open and even, supporting a calm, upscale rhythm in running text.
This font is well suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, and other high-end display applications where contrast and refinement are desired. It can also serve for short passages of text in spacious layouts, especially when print quality or large sizing can preserve its fine hairlines.
The tone is polished and literate, leaning toward fashion-editorial and bookish sophistication. Its thin strokes and precise terminals give it a luxurious, high-end character, while the traditional skeleton keeps it familiar and authoritative rather than ornamental.
The likely intention is a contemporary interpretation of a classic modern serif: maximize elegance through strong stroke contrast, sharpened terminals, and composed proportions, while maintaining conventional readability and a steady text rhythm.
The design’s contrast and fine serifs create a shimmering texture at display sizes, with distinctive sharp details in diagonals and joins (seen in V/W/X and the numerals). Round characters maintain smooth, continuous bowls, and the italics are not shown—what’s presented reads consistently upright and formal.
