A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs. Round forms are clean and near-circular, while verticals dominate, creating a poised, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, terminals feel precise, and joins stay crisp without calligraphic softness. Proportions are classical with a moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly narrow lowercase that reads airy at text sizes but looks especially striking when enlarged.
This face excels in fashion/editorial settings, display typography, and refined brand identities where high contrast and delicacy are desirable. It can also serve in short-form text such as pull quotes, titling, and elegant packaging, especially when printed at sizes that preserve its hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a sense of luxury and restraint. Its razor-thin details and disciplined structure project sophistication and formality rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, modern-seriffed sophistication: a formal text-and-display serif with dramatic contrast, crisp finishing, and an emphasis on elegance and clarity in well-spaced compositions.
The numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast logic, with fine horizontals and strong vertical stress. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls) are smooth and controlled, and the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish texture with an elegant, lightly drawn presence.
