A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline horizontals. Stems frequently swell into subtly flared, bracketed terminals, creating a sculpted rhythm that reads as both sharp and organic. Capitals are elegant and fairly narrow with clean, pointed apexes, while the lowercase shows a traditional, text-friendly structure with a two-storey “a” and “g” and small, neat bowls. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the numerals echo the same high-contrast logic with delicate joins and tapered finishes.
Best suited to headlines and larger text where the contrast and fine details can shine—magazines, cover typography, and brand identities in beauty, fashion, or hospitality. It can also work for short passages and pull quotes in editorial layouts when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classic bookish manners with a fashion-forward edge. Its high-contrast sparkle and flared endings give it a confident, premium feel—formal without becoming ornate, and expressive without tipping into display-only theatricality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast serif voice with refined, flared terminals—combining classic proportions with a more fashion/editorial sensibility. Its emphasis on sharp hairlines and sculpted stroke endings suggests a focus on elegance, distinction, and strong typographic presence.
In the sample text, the font keeps a lively vertical rhythm: the contrast creates bright highlights, while the flared terminals add warmth and a slightly calligraphic aftertaste. At larger sizes, the hairlines and sharp joins become a defining feature, emphasizing elegance and precision.
