A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Stems and terminals subtly flare, giving many letters a gently calligraphic, engraved feel rather than blunt bracketed endings. The proportions are compact and vertical, with generous counters that keep forms open in display sizes; curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay clean with minimal softness. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with delicate horizontals and sharp, tapered terminals that read as precise and formal.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and refined posters where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes at comfortable sizes with sufficient leading, but the hairline elements benefit from thoughtful reproduction and not-too-small settings.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, projecting luxury and editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and tapered details lend a sense of glamour and ceremony, while the restraint in shapes keeps it contemporary rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end, editorial serif voice by combining sharp contrast with gently flared, calligraphic stroke endings. It aims to feel classic and authoritative while remaining clean and contemporary for modern branding and publishing contexts.
In the sample text, the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs become a defining texture, creating a sparkling rhythm across long lines. Round letters stay stable and upright, and the flared endings add a subtle flourish without turning into overt swashes.
