A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharp, tapered serifs that give the letters a finely etched look. Curves are smooth and spacious, with generous counters and a relatively restrained, vertical rhythm; round forms like O and Q feel poised and symmetrical, while joins and terminals stay clean and precise. The lowercase shows a traditional book-seriff structure with a double-storey a, a compact, neatly bracketed b/d, and a distinctive g featuring a looped ear and elegant link, reinforcing an overall polished, formal texture. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender strokes and graceful curves that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where the fine contrast can shine: magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and formal event materials. It can work for short text passages in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is cultivated and luxurious—more runway and magazine than utilitarian document. Its thin hairlines and crisp serifs convey sophistication, ceremony, and a sense of premium craft, with an intentionally quiet, composed voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: crisp, poised letterforms with an emphasis on elegance and typographic sparkle. It prioritizes sophistication and visual refinement over rugged versatility.
In the sample text, the contrast becomes more pronounced at text sizes, producing a bright, sparkling page color and strong vertical emphasis. The sharpness of the serifs and the narrow hairlines suggest it will reward careful size choice and generous leading, especially on lower-resolution outputs.
