This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with fine hairline serifs and sharply cut terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with a largely vertical stress, giving rounded letters a poised, sculpted feel. Capitals are stately and open, with slender diagonals and crisp junctions, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm and balanced proportions. Curves are smooth and taut, and spacing reads even in running text, with a clean, contemporary finish to details such as the ear, beaks, and finials.
Well suited to magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where contrast and refinement are assets. It can perform in larger text sizes for pull quotes, titling, and short paragraphs where its crisp hairlines and sculpted serifs can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its refined contrast and precise detailing suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or rusticity, lending an upscale, boutique character to headlines and display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice—combining classical proportions with a sharp, contemporary contrast model for confident editorial typography and brand expression.
Round forms like O/C/G and the numerals show controlled, elegant stress and thin hairlines, while diagonals in V/W/X remain crisp and airy. The italic-like entry/exit shapes are minimal in the roman, keeping the texture formal and composed even at larger sizes.
