A delicate serif with sharply tapered hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show a smooth, calligraphic stress, while straighter strokes remain crisp and controlled, creating a bright, open texture on the page. Uppercase forms feel tall and poised with generous counters (notably in C, G, O), and the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with fine terminals and neatly shaped bowls. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, combining strong verticals with thin connecting strokes for a polished, display-forward presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its fine serifs and dramatic modulation can be appreciated. It can also support upscale branding, packaging, and event materials when used at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, projecting a premium, fashion-led sensibility with a classic, bookish backbone. Its high refinement and sharp detailing suggest formality and sophistication rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion serif voice: sharp, minimal serifs paired with dramatic contrast and disciplined proportions to create an upscale, gallery-like page color. Its geometry and finishing prioritize elegance and impact in display typography over utilitarian, small-size robustness.
At text sizes the hairline elements and tight joins read as precise and ornamental, while in larger settings they become a defining feature and add sparkle. The forms look best when given breathing room—ample point size, careful tracking, and clean reproduction help preserve the fine serifs and delicate horizontals.
