This serif has an emphatic thick–thin structure with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins. Stems often broaden into subtly flared, wedge-like terminals rather than purely bracketed endings, giving the letterforms a sculpted, calligraphic finish. Capitals are tall and stately with generous internal space and crisp apexes, while lowercase forms balance rounded bowls with delicate entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine, precise hairlines for a polished, print-like rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and large-scale typography where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from an elegant, sculpted serif voice; for longer text, it will favor comfortable sizes and high-quality reproduction to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, with a poised, contemporary-classic sensibility. Its sharp contrast and tapered detailing create a sense of drama and sophistication, evoking premium editorial design and fashion-forward branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast serif with a subtle flared-stem signature—combining classic proportions with a more stylized, display-oriented finish for contemporary editorial and brand use.
In text, the fine hairlines and narrow connectors create sparkling texture and pronounced rhythm, especially around joins in letters like n/m and the diagonal-heavy capitals. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the flared terminals add a distinctive signature that reads more expressive than a typical transitional text serif.
