A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The letterforms are upright and spacious, with smooth, rational curves and sharp joins that create a polished, print-oriented rhythm. Serifs are fine and precise rather than bracketed, and the overall texture in text is clean and airy, with capitals that feel tall and composed alongside a moderate, balanced lowercase.
It performs best in editorial settings such as magazine display, section heads, and elegant pull quotes, as well as premium branding and packaging where a refined typographic voice is needed. It can also suit formal invitations or certificates, especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality print reproduction.
The font conveys an elevated, editorial tone—cool, poised, and luxurious. Its dramatic stroke contrast and sharp finishing details suggest sophistication and formality, lending a couture and magazine-like sensibility even in simple paragraphs.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a classic backbone—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a sophisticated typographic cadence for display-forward applications.
Numerals follow the same refined contrast and show a mix of lining forms with elegant curves, keeping the set visually consistent with the uppercase. In longer text, the thin strokes and fine serifs create a bright page color and a distinctly polished, high-end feel.
