A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and crisp, with a largely vertical stress and smooth, controlled curves that keep counters open despite the light hairlines. Proportions feel balanced and moderately condensed-to-normal, with generous ascenders/descenders and a composed rhythm in running text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic, giving the design a consistent, polished texture across sizes.
Well suited to magazine typography, cultural/editorial layouts, and luxury brand systems where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display-size setting, and can also support formal stationery or invitation-style applications when given sufficient size and print/screen quality.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its light hairlines and clean finishing create a sense of sophistication and restraint, leaning more formal than friendly. The spacing and vertical elegance contribute to a quiet, premium voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end reading and display experience through extreme contrast, precise serifs, and measured proportions. Its goal is visual elegance and typographic sophistication, prioritizing a crisp, fashionable texture over ruggedness or heavy-duty small-size utility.
In extended text the hairline joins and serifs read as particularly fine, so the face visually rewards ample size and good contrast against the background. The roman structure stays calm and conventional, with subtle calligraphic influence showing mainly through stress and taper rather than overt flourish.
