A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. Capitals are tall and stately with narrow joins and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as sharp wedge-like serifs rather than heavy brackets. Curves show a predominantly vertical stress, with smooth, controlled bowls and delicate transitions into thin horizontals. The lowercase keeps a relatively compact x-height with slender ascenders and descenders, while terminals often finish in small teardrops or fine points that add sparkle without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with needle-thin cross-strokes for a poised, display-forward rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, and brand marks where contrast and finely cut details can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes, section openers, and poster titling, especially in layouts aiming for a premium, editorial look.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, balancing classic bookish credibility with contemporary fashion-level sheen. Its strong contrast and precise finishing give it a confident, high-end voice that feels suited to sophisticated, curated typography rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with flared stroke endings and carefully tapered terminals, optimized for impactful display use while retaining classical proportions and a disciplined typographic rhythm.
In the sample text, the crisp hairlines and tight interior counters create a bright, airy texture at larger sizes, while the sharp terminals and flared endings provide a distinctive silhouette in headlines. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize smooth, calligraphic modulation, and the ampersand carries the same restrained elegance without excessive flourish.
