A delicate, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and firmly weighted vertical stems. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a mostly straight, upright construction and smooth, round bowls that tighten at the joins. The capitals feel stately and wide-set with generous internal space, while the lowercase shows clear modulation and a slightly calligraphic flow in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals follow the same contrasting logic, combining slender connectors with bold main strokes for a crisp, polished texture.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and fashion or beauty branding. It also fits formal printed pieces like invitations and programs where a sophisticated, high-end tone is desired. For extended reading, it will typically perform better at comfortable sizes and in well-printed or high-resolution contexts where the fine strokes can hold.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and formality without becoming ornate. Its contrast and precision evoke fashion, cultural publishing, and classic print sophistication. The voice is confident and composed, suited to designs that want elegance and visual drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic serif voice with dramatic stroke modulation and crisp detail, prioritizing elegance and impact over ruggedness. It aims for a luminous texture and a premium feel in editorial and branding settings.
At text sizes the hairlines and small details read as very delicate, creating a bright, airy page color with pronounced vertical rhythm. The italic is not shown, and the displayed style emphasizes clean symmetry, controlled curves, and sharp terminals.
