A delicate serif with dramatic stroke modulation and crisp, hairline finishing. The design pairs narrow, vertical stress with soft flaring at stroke ends, producing wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs. Curves are taut and carefully drawn, with smooth joins and a controlled rhythm that keeps counters open despite the fine hairlines. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains a measured, bookish cadence with a subtle calligraphic influence.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and formal invitations, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, balancing classical poise with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its thin finishing and sculpted terminals read as luxurious and precise, lending an airy sophistication to both display lines and refined editorial settings.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern interpretation of high-contrast serif tradition, emphasizing elegance and precision through flared terminals and controlled, calligraphic stress. The intent seems focused on premium display typography that still holds together in well-set editorial text.
The numerals echo the same high-contrast construction, with especially fine horizontals and elegant curves. In text, the face shows a pronounced vertical rhythm and sparkling highlights from the hairline strokes, making it feel best when given generous spacing and clean reproduction conditions.
