A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The serifs read as subtly flared rather than bracketed slabs, with stems that swell into narrow wedge-like endings and fine hairlines in joins and cross-strokes. Proportions are balanced and fairly classical, with generous counters and a measured rhythm that stays smooth in text. Uppercase forms feel poised and slightly formal, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and neatly controlled curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, feature headlines, and sophisticated layouts where contrast and crisp detail can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, as well as book covers and display settings where an elegant, high-end voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and upscale, combining a contemporary sharpness with traditional book-ish restraint. Its high-contrast strokes and clean finishing give it a fashion/editorial sensibility, while the calm proportions keep it composed rather than ornamental.
The font appears designed to deliver a premium, contemporary serif voice by pairing classic proportions with sharply tapered, flared finishing. Its intent is to project refinement and hierarchy in display and editorial contexts, emphasizing contrast and clean silhouette over rugged texture.
The design relies on thin connecting strokes and sharp terminals, so the letterforms look most at home when given adequate size and spacing to let the hairlines and flared endings resolve cleanly. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with smooth curves and fine horizontals that visually match the capitals.
