This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and pronounced vertical stress. Strokes taper and subtly flare into sharp, chiseled terminals, giving many letters a carved, calligraphic finish rather than blunt serifs. Proportions are slender with ample internal whitespace; curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals often come to fine points (notably in letters like a, f, y, and the numerals). Overall spacing reads airy and refined, with a crisp rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
It performs best in large-scale settings such as headlines, magazine titling, luxury branding, and premium packaging where its hairlines and pointed terminals can be appreciated. In short text blocks and pull quotes it can add a cultured, literary feel, but it benefits from generous size and comfortable spacing to keep the thinnest strokes from disappearing.
The tone is polished and upscale, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward, display sensibility. Its razor-thin hairlines and elegant flaring lend a sense of sophistication and drama, making the voice feel curated, premium, and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture interpretation of classical serif forms—combining a narrow, vertical posture with flared, sharpened terminals to create a distinctive, high-end display texture.
Caps present a stately presence with long verticals and restrained curvature, while the lowercase shows more personality through tapered entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals. Numerals match the same sculpted contrast and look particularly suited to large sizes where fine details can remain intact.
