A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and subtly flared terminals that give strokes a tapered, calligraphic finish. Serifs are sharp and thin, often wedge-like, with a crisp, sculpted feel rather than heavy bracketing. Rounds are generous and smooth, counters are open, and the overall rhythm is even, with a noticeably high cap height and long ascenders that add vertical elegance. The lowercase shows a two-storey “g,” a restrained “a,” and a looping “Q” tail, all rendered with consistent contrast and fine detailing.
Best suited to display typography: magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and refined invitations or event materials. It can work for short passages when set with generous size and leading, where its contrast and hairlines have room to breathe.
The tone is polished and upscale, balancing classic bookish restraint with a fashion-forward lightness. Its thin hairlines and refined proportions communicate luxury and composure, while the flared endings add a subtle humanistic softness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-didone-like sophistication with added warmth from flared stroke endings. It prioritizes elegance, high contrast, and refined detailing for premium, image-led typography.
At larger sizes the fine stroke modulation and sharp serifs read as crisp and premium; in dense text, the hairlines and tight detailing may feel more delicate than robust. Numerals share the same high-contrast, elegant construction, with especially airy forms in 2, 3, and 5.
