A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline-thin horizontals and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketless in feel, with smooth, calligraphic transitions into stems and generous inner counters that keep the texture open. Round letters (C, O, Q) are drawn with controlled, near-vertical stress, while joins and apexes (A, V, W) come to precise points. Lowercase shows a restrained, bookish construction with a two-storey g, slender f and t, and a narrow, lightly hooked j; numerals are similarly thin and elegant with prominent curves and minimal weight in the joins.
This style is well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant packaging or branding where high contrast and delicate details can be appreciated. It also works for formal invitations and title treatments, and can serve as body text in print or high-resolution settings where the thin strokes will hold.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a quiet luxury associated with editorial typography. Its fine strokes and crisp details read as modern and polished rather than rustic or playful, giving text a composed, cultured voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif look: minimal stroke weight in the horizontals, refined finishing, and generous proportions that keep long lines feeling light and sophisticated.
At larger sizes the fine serifs and hairlines create a sparkling rhythm, while the wide counters and measured spacing help prevent the face from feeling dense despite the contrast. The italic is not shown; the samples suggest consistent verticality and a strong emphasis on smooth curves and clean, sharp finishing.
