This serif shows striking thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins, paired with subtly flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs rather than heavy brackets. Proportions lean elegant and slightly condensed in the capitals, with ample internal whitespace and carefully controlled curves. The lowercase has a traditional, bookish skeleton with crisp terminals, a two-storey “g,” and smooth, high-contrast bowls; overall spacing feels open and measured, keeping the texture bright despite the dramatic contrast. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with prominent curves and fine entry strokes that emphasize verticality and rhythm.
This typeface is best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display-forward editorial applications where its contrast can read cleanly. It also fits premium branding, beauty/fashion contexts, and upscale packaging where a refined, classic serif voice is desired. For smaller text sizes, its delicate hairlines suggest using it where reproduction is controlled and contrast can be preserved.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with a distinctly editorial feel that suggests high-end magazines and luxury branding. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing strokes give it a confident, formal voice—dramatic without becoming ornate. In text, it conveys sophistication and a sense of curated taste.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, using flared endings and precise tapering to add elegance and visual sparkle. It aims for a refined editorial texture that feels timeless, premium, and confident across display typography.
Round letters (C, O, Q) show taut, controlled curves and very fine hairlines, while diagonals (V, W, X) maintain clean, knife-like transitions into thicker strokes. The design relies on precise stroke tapering and clear serif flare to create sparkle at larger sizes and a refined, airy page color in setting.
