This serif typeface features a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with crisp, nearly unbracketed serifs and very fine hairlines. The proportions are tall and poised, with smooth, rounded bowls contrasted by sharply cut terminals and clean, straight stems. Curves are controlled and symmetrical, giving capitals a stately presence, while the lowercase shows a restrained, bookish construction with clear counters and a tidy, vertical axis. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin joins and sharp finishing details that keep the overall color light and airy.
Best suited for magazine typography, high-end branding, and display settings where contrast and finesse are an advantage. It performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, titling, and elegant printed pieces such as invitations or programs, where generous sizing helps preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting a fashion-forward, editorial sensibility. Its delicate detailing reads as confident and formal, with a calm, cultivated rhythm that feels at home in premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical, high-contrast serif—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a luminous typographic color for display and editorial use.
In longer text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright page and a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes the roman’s sharp finishing and the strong contrast between verticals and connecting strokes.
