A delicate serif with pronounced stroke modulation and gently flared terminals that widen as strokes resolve, giving the letterforms a subtly calligraphic finish. The design balances crisp, knife-like hairlines with firmer main strokes and tapered joins, producing a clean, luminous texture at display sizes. Proportions feel classical and measured, with open counters, moderate extenders, and carefully controlled curves in rounds like C/O and the bowl forms. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and taper, with graceful diagonals and fine finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, where the contrast and fine terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, cultural posters, and book covers that benefit from a classic yet slightly fashion-forward serif presence. For longer reading, it will work best at comfortable sizes and in high-quality output where the hairlines remain intact.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking fashion/editorial typography and traditional bookish refinement. Its sharp transitions and polished detailing read as formal and premium rather than casual, with a slightly dramatic sparkle from the thin strokes.
The font appears designed to deliver a sophisticated serif voice with calligraphic flare, combining classical proportions with sharp, refined detailing for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
The sample text shows a rhythmic, high-end page color with clear word shapes and a strong vertical cadence. Pointed diagonals (V/W/Y) and thin cross-strokes add a crisp, contemporary edge to an otherwise classic construction, while the flared endings keep it from feeling purely transitional or modern.
