A delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-like hairlines. The design pairs crisp, tapered wedge serifs with occasional bracketed joins, creating a lively rhythm that alternates between sharp, formal structure and soft calligraphic inflections. Curves are generous and smooth, counters are open, and several glyphs feature distinctive swash-like terminals (notably in characters such as Q, g, y, and W), giving the set a subtly decorative, boutique feel. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant, thin crossbars and refined curves.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and hairlines can remain crisp: magazine headlines, mastheads, luxury branding, packaging, book covers, and pull quotes. The decorative terminals add value in larger sizes and short-to-medium text runs, where the distinctive shapes can function as a signature without overwhelming the layout.
The overall tone is poised and fashion-forward, mixing classic editorial elegance with a slightly eccentric, boutique personality. It reads as luxurious and cultured rather than neutral, with a hint of theatrical flair introduced by the swashy details and long, tapering terminals.
The font appears designed to deliver an editorial, luxury-leaning serif voice with a recognizable silhouette. By combining a disciplined high-contrast foundation with selective swash-like gestures, it aims to feel both classic and memorable for branding and headline typography.
The cap set looks comparatively stately and structured, while the lowercase introduces more character through looping descenders and distinctive terminals, creating a noticeable formal-to-expressive contrast across cases. The texture in paragraphs appears airy due to the fine horizontals and hairline strokes, which will visually emphasize spacing and punctuation.
