This serif presents an elegant, high-contrast structure with long, tapering hairlines and crisp, flared serif endings. The overall geometry is tall and slightly narrow in impression, with smooth, generous curves in rounds and a clean, vertical stress. Details are finely cut: joins resolve into thin connectors, terminals often sharpen into subtle wedges, and the thins stay delicate even in larger text. Spacing and rhythm feel measured and open, helping the dramatic contrast read clearly in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging—especially in beauty, fashion, hospitality, and cultural contexts—where a polished, elevated voice is desired. For longer text, it will perform most comfortably at sizes and print conditions that protect the hairlines.
The tone is refined and cultivated, mixing classical bookish manners with a contemporary, fashion-forward sheen. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted endings create a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the calm upright posture keeps it composed and editorial rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing sculpted flared endings and razor-thin hairlines for an upscale, print-centric presence. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama while maintaining a disciplined, upright rhythm for contemporary typographic systems.
Uppercase forms feel display-oriented, with sweeping curves (notably in round letters) and slender connecting strokes that heighten elegance. The numerals follow the same refined logic, with pronounced contrast and stylish, tapered features that lean toward titling use.
