This typeface is a refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered stroke endings that often flare subtly rather than terminating in heavy blocks. Serifs are sharply defined and generally bracketed, with a calligraphic feel in the joins and terminals. Proportions are elegant and slightly narrow in many capitals, with generous counters and smooth, round bowls. The lowercase shows a traditional two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact, tapered “r,” and an “e” with a fine eye, while figures appear lining with similarly high-contrast construction and delicate curves.
It performs best in headlines, pull quotes, and editorial settings where the contrast and detailing can be appreciated. The style is also well suited to fashion, beauty, and cultural branding, as well as elegant titling on covers and posters.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing classical restraint with a fashionable sharpness. Its high-contrast rhythm and fine terminals give it a premium, boutique character suited to sophisticated messaging rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end interpretation of classic serif typography, using flared terminals and sharp finishing to add freshness and sparkle. It aims to project sophistication and authority while maintaining a light, graceful color on the page.
Round characters like C, G, O, and Q emphasize smooth, continuous curves, while diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) finish in knife-like points that heighten the sense of precision. In text, spacing reads airy and composed, with the contrast creating a lively vertical cadence that stands out at larger sizes.
