A delicate serif with an extreme thick–thin rhythm and near-hairline connecting strokes. Round letters show a pronounced vertical stress, with long, smooth curves and sharp transitions into thin joins. Serifs are fine and precise, tending toward straight, unbracketed terminals that read as crisp ticks rather than heavy feet. Proportions feel tall and statuesque with generous counters and ample spacing, producing an airy texture; the lowercase maintains a calm, measured rhythm with a single-story a and a long, elegant t.
Best suited for large-size settings such as headlines, mastheads, fashion and beauty layouts, and premium brand identities. It also fits formal applications like invitations and packaging where elegance and contrast are the primary goals. In longer passages, it will perform most comfortably when given generous size and leading to preserve its refined hairlines and open rhythm.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a runway/editorial polish. Its high-sheen contrast and meticulous detailing suggest sophistication and a sense of ceremony rather than everyday utility. The texture feels quiet and premium, suited to designs that want restraint with a touch of drama.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif for sophisticated display typography, prioritizing elegance, vertical stress, and precise hairline detailing. Its forms aim to deliver a luxurious, editorial voice with a crisp, contemporary finish.
The numerals and capitals carry a display-like finesse, with notably thin horizontals and delicate joints that will emphasize clean reproduction and generous sizing. Curves remain smooth and controlled, and the letterforms rely on whitespace as much as stroke, giving text a light, floating presence. Overall spacing appears open, helping the design retain clarity despite the fine hairlines.
