A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a decidedly hairline treatment in horizontals and terminals. Stems are smooth and vertical, while many endings subtly flare rather than resolving into blunt slabs, giving the letterforms a tapered, sculpted finish. Curves are generous and polished, with crisp joins and a slightly calligraphic modulation that shows up in the diagonals and in the more decorative lowercase forms. Spacing reads open and even, and the figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin cross-strokes and elegant curves.
This face is well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine typography, and brand identities that want an elegant, premium voice. It can also work nicely for invitations and cultural materials where a refined, classical serif is appropriate. Its high contrast and hairline details suggest using it at display sizes or in carefully controlled print/digital settings where thin strokes can be preserved.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical formality with a touch of ornament. Its lightness and sharp contrast create a luxurious, high-fashion feel, while the flared endings add warmth and a hint of hand-drawn character. The result feels poised, literary, and quietly dramatic rather than loud or rustic.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, fashion-forward take on a classical high-contrast serif, enriched with flared terminals and selective ornamental touches. It prioritizes elegance and typographic color for display reading, offering a composed uppercase and a more characterful lowercase for expressive setting.
Several glyphs introduce distinctive, slightly swashed details—especially in the lowercase—adding personality without becoming overly script-like. The uppercase remains restrained and stately, while the lowercase provides the expressive counterpoint, which can help create hierarchy in display settings.
