This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontal strokes and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are thin and mostly bracketed, with a refined, calligraphic transition into stems that keeps the forms smooth rather than abrupt. Capitals are generously proportioned with wide bowls (C, O, Q) and crisp, understated detailing, while the lowercase maintains a calm rhythm with narrow joins and carefully controlled curves. Overall spacing and sidebearings read open, giving the letterforms room to breathe in text.
It suits editorial settings where elegance and contrast are desired—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book-cover typography. It can also support luxury-oriented branding and print pieces such as invitations or packaging where a light, polished serif voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, projecting a fashion/editorial sensibility with a classical underpinning. Its light touch and crisp contrast feel luxurious and measured, leaning more toward sophistication than warmth or utility.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, fashion-forward interpretation of a classic serif: high contrast, sharp refinement, and open spacing intended to look poised at display sizes while remaining composed in short text passages.
The design shows a consistent hairline vocabulary across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with especially fine crossbars and diagonals that emphasize contrast. The numerals follow the same refined construction, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that harmonize with the text color.
