A delicate, high-contrast roman with hairline horizontals and tapered joins set against stronger verticals. Curves are smooth and generously open, with pointed terminals and occasional calligraphic flicks, especially in the lowercase. The proportions feel airy, with a slightly expanded stance in rounds and ample inner counters; spacing reads controlled rather than tight. Figures are similarly refined, mixing thin strokes with crisp, formal curves and a few ornamental touches in the 2, 3, 5, and 9.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling in magazines, book covers, and brand identities where high contrast can be a feature. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes with generous leading, especially in editorial layouts that benefit from an upscale, airy color.
The overall tone is polished and premium, leaning toward fashion and literary contexts where contrast and finesse read as sophistication. Its sharpness and lightness add drama at display sizes, while the steady rhythm keeps it composed rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxurious take on a refined roman: crisp silhouettes, bright counters, and dramatic contrast for visual impact. The slightly expressive lowercase terminals suggest an aim to add character and memorability while maintaining a composed, editorial voice.
Uppercase forms emphasize clean, classical geometry with thin crossbars (notably E/F) and a sculptural Q tail. Lowercase shows more personality through hooked or swashed-like terminals (g, j, y, s), giving a subtle handwritten accent without becoming script-like. The bold–thin interplay is strong, so texture shifts noticeably with size and background.
