A refined serif with extremely thin hairlines set against fuller verticals and smooth, generous curves. Strokes taper into sharp, needle-like terminals and subtle flares, giving the joins and serifs a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt endings. Proportions feel elegant and slightly condensed in the capitals, with ample internal whitespace and a calm rhythm in text. The lowercase shows delicate entry/exit strokes, a single-storey g, and a light, open construction that keeps counters clear despite the dramatic contrast.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp terminals can stay crisp. It also fits elegant printed materials such as invitations, lookbooks, and packaging, particularly at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting a poised, editorial sophistication. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast read as luxurious and fashion-forward, while the classical skeleton keeps it composed and traditional.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary editorial serif: classical proportions paired with pronounced contrast and finely tapered terminals for a premium, attention-grabbing texture. The flared, sculpted endings suggest an intention to feel both calligraphic and modern, balancing tradition with a sleek, fashion-oriented edge.
In longer text the bright, hairline horizontals and fine serifs create a shimmering texture, especially around curves (C, S, O) and in diagonals (V, W, X). Numerals follow the same elegant logic, with thin connecting strokes and stylish curves that suit display settings.
