This typeface is a refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and hairline details. Serifs are thin and sharply tapered, often subtly bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, cut-in feel rather than blunt slabs. Uppercase forms show classical proportions with a stately rhythm, while the lowercase combines round, open bowls with narrow joins and delicate entry/exit strokes. Curves transition into stems with smooth, calligraphic tension, and counters remain clear despite the fine connecting strokes, producing an airy, polished texture in text.
Well suited to magazine typography, book jackets, and other editorial settings where a polished, high-contrast serif is desired. It also fits luxury branding and formal printed materials such as invitations and programs, especially when used at display sizes or with generous leading.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast suggest a traditional, fashion-forward sensibility—poised and luxurious rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to evoke classic roman typography with a contemporary, high-fashion level of refinement. By pairing delicate serifs with strong vertical emphasis and carefully shaped curves, it aims to deliver an elevated, premium voice for both headlines and well-spaced text.
Large sizes showcase the crisp hairlines and sculpted curves particularly well, while the light connecting strokes and thin serifs create a distinctly sparkling page color. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with elegant curves and slender horizontals that match the text’s refined cadence.
