A high-contrast serif with delicate hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a subtle flare as stems transition into terminals and serifs. Capitals are generously proportioned with smooth, oval curves and crisp joins, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders. Serifs are finely shaped rather than blocky, and terminals often end in tapered, slightly angled cuts that keep the texture lively. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast and tapering logic, producing a clean, polished page color at text sizes and a dramatic sparkle when enlarged.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book covers where contrast and refined detail enhance hierarchy. It can deliver striking headlines and pull quotes, while also remaining composed in short-to-medium text blocks on high-quality reproduction. The polished, tapered detailing also supports premium branding applications such as beauty, jewelry, and cultural institutions.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, combining classical bookish manners with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and tapered details create a sense of luxury and precision, making the type feel premium without becoming overly ornamental.
The type appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with flared, tapered finishing for a contemporary, high-end feel. It prioritizes elegant contrast, crisp terminals, and a controlled reading rhythm to perform across display and editorial contexts.
The design’s contrast and narrow hairlines create a pronounced vertical emphasis, while the flared endings add warmth compared with more rigid modern serifs. Curved forms (notably round letters) appear smooth and controlled, helping longer passages retain an even, composed texture despite the sharp finishing details.
