A refined serif with extremely thin hairlines paired with sharper, more assertive verticals, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are small and neatly bracketed, and many joins taper into pointed terminals that give the letterforms a slightly calligraphic finish despite the upright construction. Proportions feel generously set with open counters and a spacious overall footprint, while stroke modulation and fine details remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle magazine typography, elegant headlines, and luxury branding where contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and formal invitations, especially when used at larger sizes with ample tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a light, airy presence that reads as modern-classic rather than strictly historical. Its sharp tapering and glossy contrast add a sense of drama suitable for premium, style-forward typography.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary, fashion-oriented serif that combines classic high-contrast structure with sharpened, tapered detailing for a sleek editorial voice. It prioritizes sophistication and visual sparkle over robustness in small, dense settings.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline connections contribute to a delicate texture that benefits from comfortable size and breathing room. Curved letters (like C, G, S, and the 8/9) show pronounced contrast and careful tapering, reinforcing a refined, display-leaning character even when set in paragraphs.
