A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines, thick vertical stems, and sharply bracketed-to-unbracketed hairline serifs that read as crisp and modern. Curves are smooth and highly modulated, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that create a polished, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are tall and poised with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a restrained, bookish rhythm—noticeably in the two-storey “g” and the clean, open counters throughout. Numerals and capitals maintain the same fine-line discipline, producing an overall airy color that stays precise at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where the high contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging for premium goods, as well as posters and lookbooks that benefit from a chic, high-fashion serif voice. For long text, it will typically perform best at comfortable sizes and in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The font projects an editorial, high-end tone—confident, polished, and slightly dramatic. Its strong thick–thin interplay suggests fashion and culture publishing, where elegance and contrast are part of the voice. The overall impression is refined rather than friendly, with a crisp sophistication that feels premium and curated.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with a classic foundation—aiming for elegance, clarity, and visual drama in display and editorial applications. Its controlled proportions and consistent modulation prioritize a refined typographic texture and a premium, cultivated presence.
Stroke contrast is most pronounced in verticals and main stems, with hairline crossbars and delicate entry/exit strokes that can appear extremely fine in smaller settings. Spacing in the samples feels open and controlled, helping the light hairlines remain readable while preserving a luxurious, airy texture.
