A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and tapered joins, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a mix of bracketed and pointed terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming ornamental. Proportions lean elegant and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase stays readable with open counters and a steady rhythm; round letters are smooth and controlled, and diagonals finish with clean, knife-like ends. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with thin linking strokes and prominent contrast that reads best at moderate to large sizes.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book and film titling, and prominent headlines where contrast and elegance are advantages. It can also support upscale brand identities and packaging when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, evoking fashion publishing and high-end branding. Its airy weight and precise detailing convey refinement and formality rather than warmth or rustic character.
Likely drawn to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a traditional text serif: minimal ornament, strong contrast, and precise finishing for an elevated, premium voice in editorial and brand contexts.
In paragraph text the thin hairlines and sharp serifs create a bright, sparkling page color, especially in mixed-case settings. The design favors clarity through disciplined shapes, but the finest strokes may visually soften at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs.
