A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, fuller verticals, and sharply tapered terminals that often flare subtly as strokes end. Serifs are fine and pointed with a delicate, calligraphic feel, and many joins resolve into thin, knife-like connections. Uppercase forms are stately and spacious, with rounded letters showing generous counters and smooth curves; diagonals and arms end in crisp wedges that keep the texture light. Lowercase is similarly refined, with a two-storey “g,” a compact “a,” and narrow, controlled apertures that maintain an even rhythm in text.
This face suits editorial design, magazine typography, and book or cultural publishing where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works well for branding and packaging that benefits from an elevated, classic impression, and for headlines or pull quotes where its crisp contrast can be showcased.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying a sense of tradition and careful craft. Its thin detailing and crisp endings add a luxe, fashion-adjacent edge, while the classic proportions keep it composed and formal.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with more incisive, flared stroke endings, aiming for an elegant, contemporary editorial look while preserving traditional readability cues.
In running text the contrast creates a shimmering page color, with word shapes staying clear due to stable proportions and consistent serif behavior. The numerals match the same sharp, tapered finishing, giving figures a dressy, display-friendly presence.
