A slim, monolinear serif with gently flared strokes and small forked/spurred terminals that read like subtle wedge serifs rather than slabs. Capitals are tall and relatively narrow with open, rounded corners and softened joins, while curves stay clean and controlled (notably in C, G, O, and S). The lowercase keeps a straightforward, modern skeleton with modest bowls and compact apertures, paired with crisp, minimal serifs and occasional mid-height spur details on verticals. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with simple geometry and consistent end treatments that preserve an even, airy rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short editorial titles, and branding where a refined, period-leaning voice is desired. It can work well on posters, packaging, and signage that benefits from tall, narrow capitals and a clean, decorative finish.
The overall tone is elegant and quietly decorative, evoking early-20th-century display lettering without becoming flamboyant. Its thin, precise strokes and spurred terminals lend a cultivated, slightly theatrical mood suited to titles and curated branding.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with streamlined, decorative spurs for a polished display face. It prioritizes verticality, crisp rhythm, and a controlled geometric smoothness to create a distinctive, upscale presence.
Round forms are slightly squared-off at the extremes, producing a tidy, engineered feel. Spacing appears generous and the narrow proportions make long lines feel lightweight and tall, especially in all-caps settings.
