This serif typeface is built around strong thick–thin modulation with hairline connections and sharp, tapered finishing strokes that often flare subtly at the ends. The overall construction feels vertically oriented, with crisp joins, narrow apertures, and smooth, high-contrast curves. Uppercase forms are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact, controlled shapes with single-storey a and g, a delicate ear on g, and teardrop/ball terminals on several letters. Numerals follow the same disciplined contrast and feature elegant curves and fine joins, keeping a consistent, polished rhythm across the set.
Well-suited for magazine headlines, section openers, and other editorial display where contrast and elegance are desired. It can also support refined branding—such as beauty, jewelry, and hospitality—especially in larger sizes where its hairlines and terminals remain clear. For longer passages, it will be most effective in carefully set, well-printed environments or larger text sizes that preserve its delicate details.
The tone is poised and upscale, with a fashion/editorial sensibility that reads as cultured rather than decorative. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing convey formality and sophistication, evoking bookish, gallery, and magazine contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with emphasis on contrast, precision, and stylish finishing strokes. Its flared terminals and controlled proportions suggest a focus on contemporary editorial impact while maintaining classical serif conventions.
At text sizes the hairline strokes and fine serifs create a bright, airy texture; in larger settings the tapered flares and terminals become a key part of the personality. The design favors clean, smooth curvature over calligraphic roughness, producing a composed, modern-classic impression.
