This is a delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, with sharp joins and a clean, high-contrast rhythm that stays controlled across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows traditional oldstyle structure, including a two-storey “g” with a prominent ear and a double-storey “a.” Numerals appear lining with similarly hairline horizontals and narrow joins, matching the overall refined texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial headlines and decks, fashion and beauty branding, book or magazine covers, and formal stationery such as invitations. It can also work for short passages of text when set with generous size and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—formal without feeling heavy. Its hairline detailing and high contrast read as luxurious and editorial, suggesting sophistication and careful typesetting.
The overall intention appears to be a contemporary, high-contrast serif aimed at premium typography, combining classical proportions with a clean, modern sharpness for display and refined text settings.
The design emphasizes verticality and clean curves, giving text a lightly sparkling texture at larger sizes. Fine strokes and small details in letters like “e,” “s,” and “g” suggest it will look best where reproduction is sharp and sizes are not too small.
