A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, hairline-like serifs that often finish in small wedge and flared terminals. The outlines feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with narrow joins, tapered arms, and elegant curves that maintain a crisp rhythm across the alphabet. Capitals show generous, classical proportions and smooth bowls, while the lowercase balances a moderate x-height with long ascenders and descenders for an airy, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal logic, reading clean and formal at display sizes.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine titles, headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where its high-contrast detailing can shine. It can also work for short-form editorial text in spacious layouts, especially when printed or rendered with sufficient resolution to preserve the fine terminals.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking editorial typography and luxury branding. Its sharp contrast and fine finishing details give it a polished, contemporary-classic voice that feels confident and cultivated rather than rustic or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern editorial serif voice by combining classical proportions with sharp contrast and flared, tapered finishing. Its consistent stroke logic and refined terminals suggest a focus on elegance and high-end presentation in contemporary layout contexts.
Distinctive flaring and tapering at stroke endings adds a subtle sense of movement, especially in letters with diagonals and curved terminals. At smaller sizes the fine serifs and hairlines may require adequate reproduction conditions to retain their crispness, while larger settings emphasize the elegant stroke choreography.
