A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a predominantly vertical stress. Strokes are hairline in places, with smooth flare into terminals rather than heavy bracketed serifs, giving edges a subtly sculpted, calligraphic finish. Proportions feel balanced and moderately narrow, with open counters and fine, crisp joins that keep forms light and precise. The lowercase maintains a traditional book face rhythm, while capitals are stately and clean, supported by thin crossbars and sharply tapered diagonals.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, cultural/editorial layouts, book covers, and premium branding where an elegant, high-contrast serif can shine. It also works effectively for pull quotes and display typography that benefits from crisp, refined detail.
The overall tone is poised and polished, evoking high-end editorial typography and classic print refinement. Its lightness and contrast add a sense of sophistication and formality, while the flared endings keep it from feeling cold or purely mechanical.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs, combining formal proportions with flared, tapered terminals for a more organic finish. The emphasis is on elegance and clarity in display and editorial contexts rather than rugged utility at very small sizes.
The design’s thin horizontals and hairline details stand out strongly, especially in characters like E, F, T and in the numerals, emphasizing a premium, fashion-forward feel. In continuous text it reads smooth and composed, but the sharp contrast suggests it will look most confident when given sufficient size and breathing room.
