A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline serifs and sharply tapered terminals. The design shows a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, with verticals carrying most of the weight and horizontals and joins dropping to fine strokes. Capitals are tall and stately with clean, sculpted bowls and a restrained, contemporary finish, while the lowercase keeps a classic book-ish structure with compact, neat serifs and smooth, continuous curves. Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing strong stems with thin linking strokes for a crisp, polished texture in display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, fashion and beauty layouts, and other editorial applications where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and striking headlines or pull quotes, especially when set at display sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a fashion-forward, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing suggest formality and sophistication, with an airy brightness that feels premium and modern rather than rustic or old-world.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama. Its proportions and crisp detailing aim to create a premium look for attention-grabbing display and polished editorial composition.
In paragraph settings the letterforms create a lively sparkle: thin strokes recede and thick stems form a clear vertical cadence. The sharp terminals and fine serifs give strong definition at larger sizes, while the extreme contrast implies it will look best where detail can be preserved.
