A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, showing a distinctly calligraphic construction. Serifs are fine and often slightly flared or tapered, with smooth bracketing into stems rather than blunt terminals. The capitals are stately and open, with sharp apexes (notably in A and V) and generous internal space in rounded forms like O and Q; the Q features a sweeping tail. Lowercase forms mix crisp verticals with lively curves; the two-storey a and g feel traditional, while the e has a relatively tight aperture and delicate cross stroke. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper, with elegant curves and light joins that keep the rhythm airy.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book titles where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, classic serif voice, and it can work for short to medium text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—confident and formal without feeling heavy. Its sharp hairlines and tapered endings suggest sophistication and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge, lending an upscale and cultured voice to text.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with expressive, flared finishing and crisp hairlines, creating an upscale text-and-display typeface. It prioritizes elegance, rhythm, and visual drama while keeping letterforms conventional enough for fluent reading in editorial layouts.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and fine terminals create a bright typographic color with a crisp sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The design maintains consistent stress and modulation across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a composed, editorial cadence.
