A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a crisp, engraved feel rather than blunt terminals. Curves are smooth and taut, with round bowls and narrow joins that emphasize contrast; verticals read as dominant while horizontals and connecting strokes nearly disappear in places. Proportions are generally classical with a moderate x-height and open counters, and the overall rhythm is light, precise, and spacious in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine display, and premium brand applications where high contrast can be showcased. It can work for short passages in print-like settings at comfortable sizes, but it will be most effective when given ample scale and whitespace.
The tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward editorial sophistication and runway-style minimalism. Its extreme finesse and clean structure convey exclusivity and formality more than warmth or informality.
The design appears aimed at an elevated, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms—optimized for striking display presence while retaining a conventional, readable skeleton for editorial contexts.
At larger sizes the fine detailing reads clean and dramatic, especially in capitals and numerals; in smaller text the thinnest strokes risk fading, so generous sizes and careful reproduction will best preserve its character.
