A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline details and subtly flared terminals that give the strokes a gently expanding finish. The letterforms show a smooth transition between thick verticals and fine horizontals, with sharp, clean serifs and a polished, bookish rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, generous bowls, and mostly open apertures; curves are carefully drawn and slightly calligraphic, especially in rounded capitals and the lowercase. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, reading crisp and formal rather than geometric.
Best suited to large sizes where the fine hairlines and flared detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, display typography, elegant branding, and cultural or fashion-facing design. It can also work for short text passages in high-quality print or well-controlled digital settings where contrast and thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a quiet drama that comes from the contrast and razor-thin finishing strokes. It feels cultured and editorial—more suited to sophisticated presentation than casual utility—and carries a classic, high-end fashion sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, contemporary-classic serif voice: crisp contrast for sophistication, paired with subtly flared endings to soften the geometry and add a crafted, calligraphic finish. It aims to provide strong headline presence while maintaining a refined, readable texture in carefully set text.
In text, the thin hairlines and sharp joins create a bright, sparkling texture, while the flared stroke endings add warmth compared to a strictly bracketed or Didone-like construction. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide-set, and the lowercase maintains an even, composed cadence that emphasizes clarity over quirk.
