A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline unbracketed serifs and sharply tapered terminals. Vertical stems read crisp and straight while curves transition into extremely thin joins, creating a bright, sparkling texture. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height, slightly narrow letterforms, and generous counters; the caps are tall and poised, and the numerals follow the same refined contrast with clean, minimal detailing.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, fashion and lifestyle layouts, and premium brand identities where high contrast and finesse are an advantage. It can also serve for book and album covers or elegant packaging, especially when printed or displayed large enough to preserve its hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a fashion-and-editorial sensibility. Its fine hairlines and precise serifs suggest sophistication and restraint, leaning more toward gallery-ready typography than utilitarian text setting.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classical serif model—prioritizing contrast, elegance, and a refined page color for display-led typography.
At reading sizes the thin horizontals and serifs become a defining feature of the rhythm, emphasizing contrast and whiteness on the page. The design feels most at home when given space—ample tracking, comfortable leading, and clean, high-resolution output.
