This serif face is built from extremely thin hairlines paired with sharper, more emphatic stems, producing a distinctly high-contrast, engraved look. Serifs are small and finely cut, with minimal bracketing, and the overall drawing favors smooth, near-circular bowls and long, straight verticals. Capitals feel statuesque and open, while lowercase forms are slightly more compact, with a two-storey “g” and a gently tapered “t.” Numerals match the airy rhythm, with slender diagonals and subtle terminals that keep figures crisp rather than heavy.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, titling, and elegant brand lockups where its contrast can be appreciated. It also fits formal print pieces—invites, programs, packaging accents—especially when paired with ample white space and restrained color palettes.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a quiet, fashion-forward polish. Its delicacy and bright negative space read as premium and ceremonial, leaning more toward gallery and magazine refinement than utilitarian text color.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs, emphasizing sophistication, lightness, and a precise, cut-stroke finish for premium editorial and branding contexts.
Because the thinnest strokes are so fine, the type’s presence depends strongly on size and output method: it looks pristine at display sizes but can appear fragile when reduced or placed on busy backgrounds. The spacing and contrast create a shimmering rhythm that suits careful composition and generous leading.
