A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are sharp and bracketless, with pointed terminals and a clean, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are tall and stately with generous internal space, while lowercase maintains a measured, bookish rhythm with relatively narrow joins and controlled curves. The overall color is light and airy, with vertical stress and a polished, high-fashion finish in both letters and numerals.
Best suited for editorial typography, magazine headlines, fashion and luxury branding, and other display applications where its contrast can shine. It can also work for short-form text such as pull quotes or invitations when set at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font conveys sophistication and poise, leaning toward a formal, editorial voice. Its contrast and razor-like details feel luxurious and cultivated, suited to contexts where refinement and restraint are desired rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a modern, immaculate finish—prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a premium tone for prominent typography.
Curves resolve into fine points (notably in letters like C, S, a, and e), reinforcing a precise, cut-from-metal character. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender strokes and elegant curves that read as display-oriented at smaller sizes.
