A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The forms are predominantly vertical with a poised, narrow stance and generous sidebearings in text, giving lines a calm, airy rhythm. Stroke endings often taper into fine points, while curves show a clear vertical stress and crisp joins. Lowercase features include a two-storey a and g, a compact bowl structure, and relatively long ascenders and descenders that add elegance and lift.
Best suited to magazine and book titling, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display-to-large-text applications where its fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium brand identities and packaging that benefit from a poised, luxurious serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward sophistication. Its high refinement and cool precision suggest luxury, cultural coverage, and premium branding rather than casual or utilitarian use.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: graceful, space-conscious, and visually upscale. Its tapered terminals and crisp modulation emphasize refinement and hierarchy, making it effective for sophisticated editorial typography and branding-led communication.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and tapered details become a key part of the personality, while the stronger vertical stems keep the word shapes stable. Numerals appear similarly refined, with slender construction and elegant curves suited to typographic settings where discretion and contrast are desired.
