A delicate modern serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering serifs. The strokes feel drawn with a sharp pen: verticals carry the weight while horizontals and curves thin to hairlines, producing a bright, airy color on the page. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow apertures and a generally compact stance; capitals are stately and vertical, while the lowercase keeps a measured x-height with fine entry/exit terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender diagonals and thin connecting joins.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where the high-contrast detailing remains clear. It can also work for refined book covers, fashion and culture magazines, and formal printed pieces such as invitations, especially when given generous size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a quiet luxury associated with editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and poised proportions give it a cultured, literary voice suited to sophisticated layouts rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice with classic proportions and precise, hairline detailing. It prioritizes elegance and typographic sparkle, aiming for a premium, editorial feel in display and carefully set text.
In text settings the font creates a pronounced rhythm from its thin horizontals and sharp serifs, so spacing and line length will strongly influence comfort. The design’s very fine details read especially clean at larger sizes where the hairlines and subtle bracketing can be appreciated.
