A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline strokes and sharp, clean terminals. Serifs are fine and largely unbracketed, and the joins are crisp, creating a smooth, polished rhythm across text. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height and tall ascenders, while round forms (O, C, Q) are broad and evenly tensioned. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, narrow, upright counters, and a slender, slightly calligraphic treatment in letters like f, r, and t; numerals are equally refined with thin horizontals and prominent vertical stress.
Well suited to magazine typography, book or journal titling, and luxury branding where a refined, high-contrast serif is desirable. It performs especially well for large sizes—headlines, pull quotes, and elegant logotypes—and can work for shorter text blocks when set with generous size and leading.
The overall tone is elegant and poised, projecting a premium, fashion-forward sensibility without becoming ornamental. Its lightness and contrast read as formal and cultivated, lending a quiet sophistication to both headlines and well-spaced editorial text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, premium interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a polished typographic rhythm for editorial and brand-forward applications.
At display sizes the thin hairlines and sharp serifs create a crisp sparkle, while in longer passages the contrast produces a bright page color with noticeable vertical emphasis. The design’s restrained detailing and consistent modulation keep it feeling contemporary despite its classic foundations.
