A delicate, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered, hairline serifs. Strokes show clear vertical stress and a calm, measured rhythm, with generous counters and a light overall color on the page. Terminals are clean and precise, mixing small wedge-like finishes with fine, straight-ended cuts that keep forms crisp. The lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a, open e, and a compact, looped g, while capitals are elegant and narrow-feeling in presence due to the extremely thin horizontals and serifs.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine and book display settings, and high-end branding where refinement and contrast are desirable. It will also work well for invitations and other formal materials, particularly at sizes where the hairlines remain visible.
The tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward contemporary editorial elegance rather than warmth or ruggedness. Its contrast and finesse convey sophistication, discretion, and a fashion-forward sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: elegant proportions, precise detailing, and a light typographic color optimized for sophisticated display and editorial use.
In text, the extreme contrast creates a bright, shimmering texture where horizontals and joins recede, emphasizing verticals and overall silhouette. Numerals appear similarly fine and refined, matching the light, formal character of the letters.
