A refined serif with slender hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems subtly flare as they approach terminals, and many serifs are softly bracketed, giving the forms a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish rather than blunt endings. Capitals are elegant and generously proportioned with crisp curves and careful joins; the lowercase shows a compact rhythm with narrow entry strokes and neatly tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with open counters and delicate finishing details that read best at display and larger text sizes.
Well suited to magazine typography, cultural or lifestyle editorial design, book and chapter titles, and brand systems that benefit from an elevated serif voice. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes where its fine details and contrast remain clear, but it especially shines in headlines, pull quotes, and display applications.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical bookish manners with a fashion-forward sharpness. It feels sophisticated and composed, with enough delicacy to suggest luxury and cultural gravitas rather than ruggedness or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium serif texture rooted in traditional proportions, using flared terminals and careful contrast to create elegance and hierarchy in display-led typography.
Stroke contrast is consistent across the set, with fine hairlines that create bright interior space in letters like O, Q, and e. Terminals often end in tapered points or small flares, and curves are smooth and controlled, producing a clean, high-end texture in setting.
