A delicate serif with pronounced contrast between hairline strokes and sturdier verticals, producing a crisp, refined rhythm on the page. Serifs read as fine, sharp and lightly flared, with pointed joins and tapered stroke endings that keep counters open and silhouettes clean. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in impression, with generous ascenders/descenders and a tidy, controlled baseline presence. Numerals and capitals maintain the same airy construction, with smooth curves and disciplined stroke modulation.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, and other display-to-text situations where elegance is prioritized. It also fits luxury brand identities, packaging, and formal invitations where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry the visual voice without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is cultured and sophisticated, evoking fashion and literary publishing rather than utilitarian text. Its thin details and poised curves communicate quiet luxury and precision, giving layouts a sense of restraint and polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast serif—balancing sharp, flared finishing with controlled proportions for a polished reading texture in sophisticated layouts.
In the text sample, spacing feels measured and calm, and the strong contrast creates a sparkling texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and good reproduction. Curved letters show careful tension (notably in round forms), while diagonal strokes stay sleek and sharply finished, reinforcing a clean, contemporary-classic feel.
