A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel, while curves are smooth and carefully tensioned. Uppercase proportions are stately with generous apertures and a narrow, controlled rhythm; round letters (C, O, Q) read as poised and formal, and the Q shows a distinctive sweeping tail. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and adds calligraphic nuance in letters like a, g, and y, with slender joins and subtly bracketed transitions that maintain an overall light, polished texture.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and other premium display typography where high contrast can read as intentional elegance. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set large enough to preserve the thin strokes and sharp serifs.
The tone is luxurious and composed, with a quiet theatricality typical of high-contrast serifs. Its thin hairlines and sculpted forms project sophistication, editorial confidence, and a sense of premium craft rather than everyday utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif voice: airy, high-contrast letterforms with crisp finishing that prioritize sophistication and visual drama in display-led applications.
At text sizes the hairline details and small counters can appear fragile, so it visually rewards ample point sizes and comfortable spacing. Numerals match the refined contrast and feel especially suited to display settings where their fine terminals can stay intact.
