A delicate modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The design emphasizes vertical stress and taut, straight stems paired with fine, controlled curves, creating a polished, high-contrast rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly expanded, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height with long, clean ascenders/descenders and smooth, restrained joins. Numerals and punctuation match the same refined contrast, with subtle calligraphic flicks on select terminals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other larger text where the fine hairlines and contrast can remain crisp. It also fits premium branding, packaging, invitations, and cultural or fashion-oriented materials. For extended reading, it will perform most confidently in well-printed or high-resolution settings with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, reading as luxurious and composed rather than casual. Its sharp contrast and airy spacing give it a couture, magazine-like presence, while the conventional serif structure keeps it credible for formal communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice—balancing traditional bookish proportions with modern, high-contrast elegance for impactful typography.
The letterforms show consistent contrast logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, with thin horizontals and delicate serifs that favor display clarity. Curves (notably in round letters and the ampersand) feel carefully tensioned, adding sophistication without becoming overly ornamental.
