A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong thick–thin modulation, producing a polished, luminous page color at display sizes. The letterforms are upright and sharply drawn, with fine, pointed serifs and clean, tapered terminals that emphasize precision over warmth. Capitals feel tall and statuesque with generous interior space, while curves are smooth and controlled, keeping a consistent, formal rhythm across the alphabet. Lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with narrow joins and fine finishing strokes, giving text a light, high-definition texture.
Best suited to large-size typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxe packaging, and high-impact posters where the hairlines can remain clear. It also works for pull quotes and title pages, and can be used for short-form editorial text when reproduction is high quality and sizes aren’t too small.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a distinctly formal, high-end voice. Its extreme finesse reads as premium and modern-classic, suggesting sophistication and restraint rather than friendliness or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic book and magazine serifs, prioritizing dramatic contrast, sharp detailing, and a refined vertical presence. It aims to communicate prestige and elegance through precise, minimal strokes and controlled proportions.
In paragraphs the thin connecting strokes and sharp serifs create a crisp, slightly glittering texture, especially in mixed-case settings and around rounded letters. Numerals match the refined contrast and feel suited to prominent, styled use rather than utilitarian labeling.
