A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered joins and flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a sculpted, slightly calligraphic profile. Serifs are fine and pointed with subtle bracketing, and curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp terminals. Proportions feel balanced and bookish, with compact, controlled counters and a steady rhythm that keeps the texture even in longer text. Numerals and capitals read cleanly, with elegant diagonals and delicately finished apexes and arms.
Well suited to headlines, magazine display, and editorial typography where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that call for a premium, classic voice, and can work for short-form text or pull quotes when set with enough size and printing clarity to retain the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining classic book typographic cues with a more fashion-forward sharpness. Its thin hairlines and pointed details convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, while the controlled spacing keeps it composed rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif elegance: sharp, high-contrast forms with flared endings that add personality without becoming decorative. It aims to provide a distinctive, premium texture for display and editorial settings while remaining disciplined enough for composed paragraph styling.
In the text sample, the contrast and tapered details remain visible and lively, creating a refined sparkle at larger sizes; at smaller sizes the finest strokes may require careful reproduction settings to preserve the hairlines. The design maintains a consistent, cohesive logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a formal, curated feel.
