A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines and dramatically thickened verticals, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered entry/exit strokes and clean terminals that read as precise rather than soft. Round letters show a controlled, slightly narrow ovality, while diagonals and joins stay taut and minimal. The overall color on the page is light and sparkling, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a poised, orderly texture in text.
Best suited for large-size settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and luxury packaging where the fine hairlines can remain clear. It can work for short editorial passages when printed or rendered at comfortable sizes, especially in high-quality reproduction contexts that preserve thin strokes.
The font projects a polished, luxe tone associated with editorial typography and premium branding. Its sharp contrast and airy spacing feel sophisticated and composed, with a cool, modern elegance rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serif conventions, prioritizing elegance, precision, and visual drama. Its proportions and sharp detailing suggest an emphasis on refined display typography that still maintains a disciplined text structure.
In running text the hairlines become the defining detail, giving the sample a bright, shimmering texture and a distinctly “cut” finish at terminals. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with graceful curves and fine linking strokes that suit display sizes particularly well.
