Abstract
We propose a quark flavor model based on modular with a general CP symmetry. CP violation in the quark sector is entirely realized by the modulus . We show that the canonical normalization induced by the K\"ahler metric plays a crucial role in reproducing the observed hierarchies, while maintaining coupling constants of order . The minimal model achieves a great fit to the quark sector data, which we take as the PDG 2024 data extrapolated to the GUT scale.
