A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals that often flare as strokes finish. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel in joins and curves. Capitals read stately and well-proportioned with generous apertures, while lowercase shows compact, smooth forms and clear contrast between straight stems and hairlines. Numerals follow the same polished rhythm, with thin entry strokes and weight concentrated in verticals and main curves.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display typography in magazines and editorial layouts. It can also serve luxury-oriented branding and packaging where crisp contrast and refined detailing are desirable; for long text, it will perform better with comfortable sizing and spacing due to its delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, balancing classic bookish credibility with a fashion-forward gloss. Its high-contrast drawing and finely tapered details give it a premium, boutique atmosphere rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: sharp, stylish, and readable in display settings, with flared finishing strokes used to add character and polish without becoming ornamental.
Curves are clean and controlled, with pointed or tapered accents on letters like a, g, y, and z that add sparkle at display sizes. The rhythm is tight and vertical, and the thin strokes demand adequate size and reproduction quality to maintain clarity.
