This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with slender hairlines and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as softly bracketed terminals rather than blunt slabs. Uppercase forms are classical and spacious, with crisp triangular apexes (notably in A and V/W) and carefully carved joins that keep counters open. The lowercase has a restrained, bookish rhythm with compact bowls, a two-storey g, and a relatively narrow, elegant t with a light crossbar; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with fine entry/exit strokes and smooth curves. Overall spacing feels measured and airy, emphasizing clean silhouettes and a polished page color at text sizes.
It suits magazines, lookbooks, and other editorial design where high-contrast serifs enhance hierarchy and sophistication. The refined outlines and flared endings also work well for premium branding, packaging, and display typography such as book covers and campaign headlines; for longer text, it benefits from generous leading and thoughtful reproduction to preserve the fine hairlines.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—luxury-adjacent without feeling ornate. Its sharp detailing and calligraphic contrast suggest sophistication and taste, giving layouts a composed, editorial finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, combining crisp geometry with subtly flared terminals for a distinctive, upscale texture. It prioritizes elegance and clarity in display and editorial settings while maintaining a controlled, readable rhythm in mixed-case typography.
Diagonal strokes (especially in N, V, W, X, and Y) show strong contrast and tapering, producing a lively sparkle in large settings. The Q’s long, sweeping tail and the delicate ear-like details on some lowercase forms add character while staying disciplined and consistent.
