A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, with tapered terminals that keep the overall color bright and airy. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals with ample counters, while the lowercase shows clear calligraphic influence in the curves and joins. Round letters are smoothly drawn and open, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, fine-stroke logic with graceful curves and light foot serifs.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and refined brand marks where fine detail can be preserved. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or large sizes, but the slender hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The face communicates sophistication and restraint, with a fashion/editorial polish and a quiet, formal tone. Its high contrast and slender detailing evoke luxury and tradition more than warmth or utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: sharp, graceful forms optimized for elegance, with a carefully controlled lightness and a polished editorial presence.
The rhythm favors elegance over robustness: thin hairlines and sharp joins create a crisp, high-end texture, especially noticeable in larger text. Ascenders are relatively tall and the overall spacing feels measured, contributing to a composed, premium look.
