A refined serif with sharp, tapered joins and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Stems often broaden into subtle flares rather than terminating in heavy slabs, giving the letters a sculpted, chiseled finish. The round forms are smooth and open, with compact, well-contained counters and carefully controlled curves; terminals tend to be pointed or delicately hooked, especially in the lowercase. Overall spacing feels measured and airy, supporting clean word shapes in text while preserving a display-like sheen in capitals.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and book-cover typography where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also serve branding and packaging that aims for luxury or heritage cues, and works nicely for invitations or event collateral when set with generous leading and careful spacing.
The tone is polished and high-end, balancing classical bookish manners with a contemporary, fashion-forward crispness. Its high-contrast sparkle and flared endings read as cultivated and intentional rather than rustic, conveying sophistication and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, high-contrast reading of a serif with flared stroke endings—combining classical proportions with sharpened detailing for a modern, premium voice.
Capitals have a stately presence with fine hairlines and confident verticals, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic motion through tapered strokes and lively terminals. Numerals share the same elegant contrast and curved modulation, feeling suited to typographic settings where figures need to harmonize with text.
