A crisp serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are finely cut and often flare out from stems, with smooth bracketing and wedge-like terminals that feel sculpted rather than purely mechanical. Curves are taut and elliptical, counters are generously open, and joins stay clean even where strokes pinch down to hairlines. Uppercase forms read stately and controlled, while the lowercase shows lively modulation and slightly more calligraphic flow, keeping a consistent, polished texture across text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, especially for beauty, fashion, hospitality, and cultural institutions. In longer passages it can work when set with comfortable size and leading, preserving the legibility of its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, with a dramatic contrast that signals refinement and authority. It feels rooted in classical book and magazine typography, but with a fashion-forward sharpness that adds modern edge. The impression is poised and premium, suited to settings where typography should feel intentional and luxurious.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, contemporary take on classical serif elegance, combining stately proportions with flared, sculptural finishing. Its emphasis on contrast and sharp, clean terminals suggests a focus on impactful display typography that still retains a disciplined text rhythm.
The font’s strong vertical emphasis and delicate cross-strokes reward generous sizes and careful spacing, where the hairlines can remain clear. Numerals and capitals carry a display-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a composed, editorial cadence.
