A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals that taper into subtly flared endings. The letterforms are built on crisp, controlled curves and long, fine serifs, giving a light footprint and a clean page color. Capitals feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase keeps a modest x-height with narrow joins and carefully thinned transitions. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender stems and rounded bowls that read as refined rather than utilitarian.
Best suited to large sizes where the fine hairlines and flared endings can remain crisp—such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book or journal titling, and premium packaging. It can also work for short text passages in high-quality print or high-resolution digital environments where its contrast and delicate serifs won’t be lost.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and tapered details suggest luxury and formality, while the open, airy construction keeps it from feeling heavy or overly ornate. The result is poised and slightly dramatic, suited to sophisticated, high-end contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with understated flare, balancing classical proportions with a lighter, more fashion-oriented finish. It prioritizes elegance, sharpness, and visual rhythm over ruggedness, aiming for a luxurious editorial presence.
Round letters show smooth, near-circular bowls with very thin connection points, and diagonal forms (like V/W/X) emphasize needle-like hairlines at the joins and tips. The design maintains consistent contrast across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, premium feel in running text as well as display settings.
