This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Stems and main strokes finish in subtly flared, wedge-like endings rather than blunt slabs, giving the serifs a sharp, tapered feel. The overall drawing is clean and controlled, with generous counters and smooth, near-circular bowls (notably in O and o) that create an open, airy texture. Uppercase proportions feel classical and stately, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm with delicate joins and compact terminals.
This font performs especially well in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where high contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It also suits luxury branding applications such as logos, beauty/fashion packaging, and upscale stationery, where its flared endings and crisp hairlines contribute a premium, considered impression.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its sharp tapers and glossy contrast suggest sophistication and restraint, leaning more modern-luxury than rustic or bookish traditionalism. The resulting voice is poised and formal, suited to premium branding and refined typography.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a contemporary, high-contrast finish, using flared terminals to add elegance without heavy, bracketed serifs. It prioritizes sophistication and visual sparkle, aiming for a distinctive editorial and branding voice at display and larger text sizes.
The numerals share the same dramatic contrast and fine finishing, producing a stylish, display-forward numeric color. Spacing in the sample text reads even and composed, and the thin horizontals and hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes while remaining visually light overall.
