A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and crisp, with narrow joins and tapered strokes that give the letters a polished, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are tall and stately, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey “a” and “g” and compact, neat bowls. Numerals match the high-contrast style, with light horizontals and slightly more anchored verticals, maintaining an airy overall color.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where the hairline details can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal stationery that benefits from a refined, high-contrast serif voice.
The font conveys sophistication and restraint, with a distinctly upscale tone. Its hairline detailing and high contrast feel luxurious and poised, suggesting fashion, culture, and formal publishing rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a light typographic color. It aims to feel timeless and editorial, with controlled detailing rather than overt ornament.
At larger sizes the fine serifs and tight hairlines read as sharp and premium; in smaller sizes the extreme contrast may become visually fragile, especially in complex letter clusters. The rhythm is smooth and even, with a calm baseline and minimal flourish, relying on contrast and proportion for character.
