A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and gently flared terminals that broaden into the serifs rather than ending in blunt slabs. The overall silhouette is slender and vertically oriented, with long ascenders/descenders and a crisp, taut rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are clean, and counters remain open despite the delicate hairlines. The italic-like movement is minimal in the roman; instead, the design relies on contrast, flare, and tapered strokes to create sparkle in text.
It performs especially well in editorial headlines, fashion or cultural branding, and short-to-medium text where its contrast can add sophistication without collapsing into noise. It also suits invitations and premium packaging, where the flared endings and airy spacing read as intentional detail.
The font reads poised and sophisticated, with a magazine-ready polish and a quietly dramatic contrast that feels boutique and cultured. Its sharpness and flare add a touch of ceremonial formality while still feeling contemporary in its restraint.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more stylized, flared finish, producing an elegant text-and-display hybrid that feels sharp, modern, and luxurious. Its narrow stance and high contrast suggest a focus on creating a vivid page color and a strong vertical cadence.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline connections create bright highlights, while the thicker verticals anchor the line and keep the texture stable. The figures follow the same contrast-driven logic, pairing slender stems with swelling terminals for a cohesive, dressy look.
