This serif typeface is built around hairline-thin horizontals and sharp, needlelike serifs paired with taller vertical stems, creating a pronounced contrast and a crisp, engraved look. Proportions are relatively slim with generous interior counters, and the overall drawing feels precise and controlled rather than calligraphic. The lowercase features a delicate, two-storey “g,” a compact ear on “r,” and fine terminals that keep the texture light, while capitals are stately with clean, tapered serifs and an elegant, narrow stance. Numerals match the text style with similarly thin joins and refined curves, maintaining a consistent, airy rhythm across sizes.
It is well suited to magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and other luxury-facing communications where a refined serif texture is desired. It performs especially well for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large typographic moments, and can also work for formal stationery and invitations when set with adequate size and spacing.
The tone is polished and formal, with a luxurious, runway-editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing evoke classic book and magazine typography, leaning toward sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a light, premium presence. Its narrow proportions and meticulous hairline detailing suggest an emphasis on elegance, hierarchy, and dramatic typographic contrast in editorial and brand settings.
At text sizes the hairline details and tight joins read as especially delicate, so the overall color stays pale and refined. The design’s sharp serifs and slender curves give it a distinctly high-end feel, particularly in titles and large-setting applications where the contrast can fully show.
