This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and more substantial verticals that gently swell into flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic finish rather than blunt endings. Capitals feel stately and open, with smooth, rounded bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q) and crisp joins; the Q features a graceful, sweeping tail. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy, with fine entry/exit strokes, narrow apertures, and long, elegant ascenders and descenders; the double-storey g and the pointed, tapered v/w/x add to the refined rhythm. Figures follow the same contrast pattern, with thin horizontals and tapered terminals that keep the numerals delicate yet formal.
Best suited to editorial settings such as magazine titles, pull quotes, and refined headline typography, as well as premium branding and packaging where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It also works well for book covers and short passages of display text where the delicate hairlines and sculpted terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and fashion/editorial sensibilities. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contrast convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, high-end presence without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on classical serif construction, emphasizing dramatic contrast and flared, wedge-like endings for a crisp, luxurious voice. It prioritizes a graceful silhouette and refined rhythm in both capitals and text, aiming for strong presence in display and editorial applications.
In text, the spacing and stroke modulation create a bright page color with a crisp, sparkling texture; thin hairlines become a defining feature, especially at larger sizes and in well-lit reproduction. The mix of tapered joins and flared endings produces a distinctive, chiseled silhouette that reads as contemporary-classic rather than purely oldstyle.
