A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weight concentrated in the main verticals, paired with subtly flared stroke endings that read as sharp, tapered serifs. The forms are crisp and sculpted, with smooth, slightly calligraphic curvature and a consistent vertical axis. Uppercase proportions feel stately and even, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with clear differentiation between rounds and straights. Numerals align with the same contrast and finishing, giving the set a cohesive, formal texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, books, and cultural publishing—where contrast and refined detailing add character. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, upscale voice.
The overall tone is polished and classical, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its sharp detailing and bright contrast suggest sophistication and a premium, print-oriented feel rather than casual neutrality.
Likely designed to balance traditional serif letterforms with a more sculpted, flared finishing, creating an elegant reading experience with extra visual sophistication for display and editorial settings.
Counters and apertures remain relatively open despite the fine hairlines, helping the design stay articulate in running text. The detailing in joins and terminals creates a lively sparkle at display sizes, while the steady proportions keep paragraphs orderly.
