A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weight concentrated in main stems, showing clear calligraphic tension and crisp, tapered joins. Serifs read as fine, flared terminals rather than heavy bracketed slabs, giving many strokes a subtly widened finish at their ends. Capitals are proportionally tall and classical with generous internal space, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm with compact detailing and clean, open apertures. Figures share the same contrast and elegance, with tapered entry/exit strokes and a slightly stylized, editorial feel.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where its sharp contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits luxury branding, magazine mastheads, and book-cover titling, and can work for short paragraphs when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, balancing modern sharpness with traditional bookish elegance. It feels suited to fashion and publishing contexts where a refined, premium voice is desired, with enough crispness to read as contemporary rather than purely historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated serif voice that reads as modern-luxury while retaining classical proportions and a literary cadence. Its flared stroke endings and fine hairlines suggest a focus on stylish display impact without abandoning text rhythm and composure.
Diagonal letters (like V, W, X, and the leg of R) show pronounced thinning toward hairline points, emphasizing a delicate, incisive silhouette. Round forms (O, Q, C, and lowercase o) are smooth and spacious, helping maintain clarity despite the thin connecting strokes. Spacing appears moderate, producing an even color in text while preserving a distinctly high-end, display-oriented texture.
