A delicate serif with hairline-thin strokes and pronounced thick–thin contrast, giving the letterforms a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are fine and sharp, with smooth, high-tension curves and narrow joins that keep counters open despite the light weight. Proportions lean tall and poised, with long ascenders/descenders and a measured rhythm in text; the lowercase shows a single-storey g with a prominent looped descender, and a long-tailed q that adds calligraphic swing. Numerals are similarly refined, with slender stems and rounded bowls that match the type’s overall tension.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and refined brand identities. It can also work for short passages in print-oriented contexts where size and contrast are carefully managed and generous leading supports its airy texture.
The overall tone is polished and premium, reading as quiet luxury rather than loud display. Its lightness and contrast suggest editorial sophistication, evoking fashion magazines, bookish title pages, and upscale brand systems where finesse and whitespace are part of the voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a contemporary, ultra-fine refinement—prioritizing elegance, tension in curves, and a sophisticated page color for premium typography.
At larger sizes the hairline details and sharp terminals become a defining feature, while in continuous text the contrast produces a sparkling texture. The design’s distinctive descenders (notably in g, j, and q) add personality without breaking the formal, conventional serif posture.
