A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The design favors tall, graceful capitals and narrow joins, with smooth, rounded bowls and carefully tapered terminals. Curves are clean and controlled, while diagonal strokes (as in V, W, and X) show strong contrast and crisp apexes. Lowercase forms read polished and literary, with a two-storey g and fine, threadlike details that create a light, airy rhythm in text.
This font is well suited to magazine and book typography, especially for headlines, pull quotes, and refined titling where its contrast can shine. It also fits luxury branding applications such as cosmetics, fashion, jewelry, and packaging, and can work for short to moderate text passages when size and reproduction allow the fine strokes to remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and composed, leaning toward a modern-luxury editorial feel. Its high-contrast strokes and fine finishing convey poise and precision, making it feel formal without becoming ornate.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice with a bright page color and dramatic contrast. Its emphasis on hairline finishing and calm proportions suggests an intention to balance classic editorial tradition with a sleek, modern presentation.
At display sizes the razor-thin serifs and hairlines look especially striking, while in paragraphs the texture remains bright and open due to the light color and generous inner counters. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and look suited to settings where typographic finesse matters.
