A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered stroke endings and subtly flared stems that widen into the serifs. The design pairs thin hairlines with strong verticals, using sharp, wedge-like finishing details and lightly bracketed joins to keep the forms lively rather than static. Capitals are poised and relatively narrow in feel, with clean classical proportions, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height and a slightly calligraphic modulation. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are smooth and controlled, and the numerals follow the same contrasty logic with elegant, open counters and delicate terminals.
This font is well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes, as well as book covers and cultural branding where a sophisticated serif is desired. It will also perform well in luxury-oriented identities and formal print pieces, especially at display and larger text sizes where the fine hairlines and crisp terminals can shine.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting luxury and tradition without becoming overly ornamental. Its contrast and sharp finishing give it a fashionable, high-end voice suited to refined typographic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-leaning interpretation of classical serif structure, emphasizing contrast, sharp finishing, and flared transitions for a distinctive, premium feel.
The letterforms show consistent stress and a steady rhythm across text, with hairlines that read as intentionally delicate. The Q has a distinctive, sweeping tail, and several characters use tapered, blade-like terminals that reinforce a crafted, calligraphic impression.
