This typeface features very thin hairlines paired with thicker verticals and gently flared stroke endings that read as softened, wedge-like serifs rather than blunt slabs. Curves are taut and polished, with a crisp overall rhythm and generous internal counters that keep the design airy. Capitals are tall and stately with fine terminals, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure and a moderate x-height. Details such as the long, flowing descender on “y,” the delicate hook of “f,” and the slightly calligraphic modulation throughout reinforce a controlled, high-contrast texture.
It performs best in display and editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and premium branding where its high contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. For longer text, it will suit more spacious sizes and layouts where the delicate hairlines won’t be visually overwhelmed.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—quietly luxurious rather than loud—suited to sophisticated, culture-forward typography. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals create a sense of precision and exclusivity, with a subtle vintage/editorial flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-leaning serif with classical proportions, using flared endings and strong stroke modulation to create elegance and distinction in print-like typography.
In text, the high contrast produces a bright, sparkling page color with strong vertical emphasis, especially in mixed-case passages. The numerals follow the same refined logic, with slender strokes and elegant curves that align well with editorial settings.
