A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline details. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered, with frequent curled terminals and subtle entry/exit strokes that give many letters a lightly calligraphic finish. Proportions are relatively narrow with tall capitals, a moderate x-height, and open counters; round forms (O, Q, e) read cleanly while vertical stems stay crisp and straight. The overall rhythm is smooth but intentionally ornamental, with occasional swash-like strokes in letters such as Q, J, y, and w that add flourish without turning into a script.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, book jackets, and branding where an elegant, high-contrast voice is desired. It can work in short-to-medium text at comfortable sizes, and particularly excels in titles, packaging, and formal stationery where its ornamental terminals have room to breathe.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward editorial and luxury styling. Its airy contrast and decorative terminals feel cultured and slightly dramatic, suggesting a classic, literary sensibility with a touch of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model with fashion-oriented contrast and tasteful swash detailing, offering a refined display presence while remaining coherent in running text settings.
In longer text the hairline joins and extended curls become more prominent, creating a distinctive texture that rewards generous sizing and spacing. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with several figures featuring elegant curves and fine finishing strokes.
