A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and sharp, tapering bracketless serifs. Curves are smooth and sculpted, with a polished, contemporary Didone-like rhythm; round letters (O, C, G) show precise, near-circular bowls and clean entry/exit terminals. Uppercase proportions feel statuesque and slightly narrow, while the lowercase keeps an even, controlled texture with compact joins and a single-storey a and g. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast and fine detailing, producing an overall light, crisp color on the page.
Best suited to display and large text—magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand marks, product packaging, and high-end promotional materials—where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated. In longer passages, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and with ample leading to preserve its airy texture.
The tone is luxurious and poised, leaning toward fashion and premium editorial aesthetics. Its extreme delicacy and sharp finishing details convey sophistication and formality, with a modern, high-end sensibility rather than rustic warmth.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a high-fashion, contemporary serif voice with dramatic contrast and meticulous finishing. It prioritizes visual refinement and impact in display contexts while maintaining a conventional, readable structure for editorial-style typography.
The design relies on fine stroke connections and thin cross-strokes, so spacing and size will strongly affect perceived clarity. The capitals read particularly striking in large settings, where the tapered serifs and hairline transitions become a key part of the character.
