A delicate serif with pronounced contrast between hairline strokes and fuller stems, set on an upright axis. Serifs are fine and often bracketed, with occasional flare and subtle tapering that gives the outlines a lightly calligraphic feel. Curved letters show thin, ribbon-like internal strokes and open counters, while many terminals finish with gentle hooks or curls that add ornament without becoming fully decorative. Proportions lean wide, with airy spacing and a relatively modest x-height compared to the capitals, producing a formal, high-fashion texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book or magazine titling, pull quotes, and refined branding where a light, high-contrast serif can carry a premium voice. It can also work for invitations, packaging, and cultural posters, especially at display sizes where the hairlines and terminal details remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and old-world, evoking bookish elegance and a slightly theatrical refinement. Its thin detailing and ornamental terminals lend it a curated, boutique sensibility suited to premium or ceremonial messaging rather than utilitarian UI.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif with added elegance—combining classic proportions and serif structure with more expressive terminals and internal stroke detailing to create a recognizable, upscale texture.
In continuous text the crisp hairlines and lively terminals create a sparkling rhythm, with distinctive shapes in letters like g, j, Q, and z that read as signature forms. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sharp joins with soft curves for a stylish, editorial feel.
