A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connecting strokes. Vertical stems read crisp and straight, while terminals often broaden subtly into flared, wedge-like endings rather than blunt cuts. Capitals are proportionally tall and open, with fine serifs and smooth, controlled curves; the lowercase shows compact, tidy forms with a restrained, bookish rhythm and a single-storey “g.” Numerals are similarly high-contrast, with slender diagonals and thin cross-strokes that emphasize a light, airy texture on the page.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and refined branding where its high contrast and delicate hairlines can be appreciated. It also works well for book covers, pull quotes, and upscale packaging or invitations, especially at larger sizes and with generous leading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and quiet, balancing classical formality with a modern lightness. Its high contrast and sharp detailing suggest luxury and editorial polish, while the gentle flaring at stroke ends adds a faintly calligraphic, bespoke feel.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast serif voice with a slightly flared, crafted finish. The intent seems to be a contemporary take on classic editorial typography—precise, elegant, and optimized for striking typographic presence in display and headline contexts.
The design relies on very thin horizontals and hairline joins, so spacing and line length will strongly affect perceived color; in longer text it produces a bright, open page. The italic is not shown, and the sample emphasizes a clean roman suited to display and carefully set reading sizes.
