This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and very fine hairlines. Capitals are wide and generously spaced with sharp, tapered entry strokes, while curves (C, G, O, Q) show smooth, calligraphic modulation. The lowercase maintains an open, readable rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and slender ascenders/descenders that end in subtle wedges or flares rather than heavy bracketed serifs. Numerals follow the same razor-thin thick–thin logic and feel graceful rather than utilitarian, with round forms (0, 8, 9) drawn with a light, continuous stress.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other large-size settings where the high contrast and flared terminals can be clearly rendered. It can work for premium branding and packaging—especially in fashion, beauty, or cultural contexts—where a light, elegant typographic voice is desired. For longer passages, it will perform most comfortably at moderate-to-large text sizes with careful typesetting.
The overall tone is refined and formal, with an airy, luxurious feel typical of display-oriented editorial typography. Its sharp contrasts and tapered details suggest a fashion-forward, high-end sensibility, while the classical proportions keep it poised and traditional rather than experimental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a refined serif, combining classical letterform structure with dramatic contrast and sculpted, flared terminals. The goal seems to be an elegant display face that feels luxurious and precise, optimized for standout typography rather than purely utilitarian reading.
In text, the thin joins and tapered terminals create a shimmering texture that rewards generous sizes and comfortable spacing. The design’s distinctive character comes from the consistent flare at ends of stems and diagonals, giving strokes a carved, sculptural finish without becoming blunt or slab-like.
