This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a calligraphic stress and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs read as wedge-like and subtly flared, with bracketed joins that soften transitions into the stems. Round forms are generous and smooth, while verticals remain crisp, creating a poised rhythm across text. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with open counters and a lively, slightly varied modulation that keeps long passages from feeling rigid.
It performs especially well in magazine layouts, book covers, and other editorial settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated at larger sizes. The refined serifs and crisp modulation also suit luxury and fashion branding, packaging, and headline typography where a sophisticated voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its sharp details and pronounced contrast evoke luxury and formality, while the gentle flaring and bracketed shaping keep it from feeling cold or purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast serif typography with subtly flared endings for a more crafted, elegant finish. It balances display-level sophistication with enough regularity and openness to support reading in short to moderate text settings.
The numerals follow the same refined contrast and include delicate terminals, giving them a display-friendly presence. Capitals feel stately and spacious, and the italic-like calligraphic influence is noticeable even in the upright, especially in the curvature and tapering of terminals.
