This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and comparatively weighty verticals that taper into subtly flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketed in feel, with wedge-like endings that give strokes a slightly calligraphic, inked quality rather than purely mechanical Didone rigidity. The overall rhythm is open and airy, with generous counters and a calm, even baseline; capitals feel stately and rounded (notably in C/O/Q), while lowercase shows crisp details such as a two-storey a, a narrow-shouldered r, and a compact t with a fine crossbar.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, pull quotes, and brand applications where refinement and contrast are assets. It can also work for premium packaging and poster titling, especially where ample size and breathing room preserve the delicacy of the hairlines.
The tone is poised and upscale, projecting sophistication and restraint. Its pronounced contrast and flared endings suggest a fashion and culture sensibility—polished, dramatic, and suited to premium contexts without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs, adding flared, tapered stroke endings to create a more calligraphic, crafted finish. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama for prominent text settings.
At display sizes the hairlines and interior joins read crisp and luxurious, while the tapered terminals add a distinctive softness at stroke endings. Numerals follow the same contrast-led logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that harmonize with the letterforms.
