A delicate text serif with extremely thin hairlines and pronounced stroke contrast. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a lightly bracketed feel and crisp terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow joins and a restrained, classical skeleton; the overall rhythm is spacious, aided by generous sidebearings and a calm, even baseline. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined, high-contrast logic, creating a cohesive, polished texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book work where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and luxury-oriented branding applications that benefit from a light, elegant typographic voice.
The typeface conveys a poised, cultivated tone—quietly luxurious rather than loud. Its thin serifs and sparkling contrast suggest editorial sophistication, making text feel formal, curated, and design-conscious.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast reading serif that balances classical proportions with a clean, fashion-editorial sharpness. Its emphasis on thin hairlines, crisp serifs, and open spacing suggests a focus on sophistication and visual finesse in print-like settings.
In paragraph settings the letterforms produce a light, shimmering color with noticeable whiteness between strokes, emphasizing clarity and refinement over sturdiness. The italic is not shown; the roman carries subtle calligraphic cues in details like the two-storey ‘g’ and the tapered diagonals, while maintaining a disciplined, contemporary finish.
