A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline terminals. The forms are built on crisp, clean curves with gently flared, bracketed joins where strokes meet, giving capitals a sculpted, chiseled presence. Serifs are fine and sharp rather than blocky, with tapered finishing strokes and a smooth, controlled rhythm. Lowercase shows a classic book-ish construction with a double-storey “g,” a small-eared “g” and “a,” and narrow, vertical stress; numerals follow the same thin-thick logic with elegant curves and minimal weight in horizontal strokes.
Well-suited for magazine and book typography at display and headline sizes, where the contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that call for a premium, classic voice, as well as formal materials such as invitations and cultural programs.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward editorial sophistication and luxury minimalism. Its high-contrast sparkle and fine detailing feel formal and premium, while the subtle flare softens the austerity with a hint of calligraphic warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif: high contrast and precision for elegance, paired with subtly flared stroke endings to add character and a crafted, engraved feel in prominent text settings.
Large sizes reveal refined modulation and sharp apexes, especially in letters like A, V, W, and Y, where thin diagonals heighten the crispness. At smaller sizes the hairlines and fine serifs will read more delicately, so spacing and size selection will strongly influence perceived clarity.
