This typeface shows a delicate, high-contrast serif structure with very thin hairlines and tapered, flared stroke endings that broaden gently into the terminals. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with an overall narrow footprint and a calm vertical posture. The serifs read as subtle wedges rather than blunt slabs, and many joins and terminals feel lightly calligraphic, giving the forms a polished, sculpted finish. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting a clean rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
It is well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and luxury branding where high contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial text blocks in comfortable sizes and print-forward contexts where its hairlines won’t be overwhelmed by coarse reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and upscale, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its airy hairlines and tapered details suggest sophistication and restraint, leaning more toward modern luxury than rustic or utilitarian impressions.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with contemporary sharpness, using flared terminals and fine hairlines to create a distinctive, premium voice. Its narrow stance and controlled rhythm suggest an emphasis on elegance and space efficiency in display typography.
Uppercase forms feel stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a composed book-like rhythm; together they create a strong contrast between dramatic headlines and more restrained text settings. Numerals echo the same thin–thick modulation and flared finishing, keeping the set visually cohesive.
