A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and confidently tapered, flared stroke endings that read as softly sculpted rather than slabbed. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, with clean terminals and a controlled, calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with a double-storey a, a looped g, and narrow, elegant joins; overall spacing is open enough to keep the thin strokes from clogging in text. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, mixing straight spines with sweeping curves and delicate entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and magazine layouts where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It also works well for display roles—titles, pull quotes, and branding—especially when paired with generous leading and careful color management in print or high-resolution screens.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking contemporary book typography and fashion/editorial layouts. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing give it a dressy, cultivated feel—more gallery and magazine than utilitarian UI—while still maintaining a calm, traditional authority.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, elegant reading face with a distinctly sculpted, flared finish—combining classical serif proportions with a sharper, more fashion-forward surface. Its mix of stately capitals and energetic lowercase suggests an intention to perform both in text and in larger editorial settings where character and rhythm matter.
Large counters and taut curves keep the design from feeling brittle despite the very thin horizontals. Diagonal-heavy letters (V, W, X, Y) look particularly crisp, and round letters (O, Q, e, o) emphasize the smooth contrast and refined curvature.
