A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline detailing throughout. Stems are straight and upright with sharp, clean joins, while curved letters show smooth, taut bowls and a controlled, slightly calligraphic flow. Serifs are fine and bracketed lightly, often tapering to needle-like terminals that emphasize a polished, high-end finish. Proportions feel classical with generous ascenders and descenders, and the overall rhythm is open and spacious, giving the text a light, shimmering texture on the page.
Best suited to editorial design, magazine headlines, and high-end branding where contrast and finesse are assets. It will also shine in invitations, lookbooks, and display typography that can preserve its hairline details; in extended text it benefits from comfortable sizes and generous leading to maintain clarity.
The tone is sophisticated and poised, combining a modern fashion sensibility with traditional bookish refinement. Its airy contrast and crisp terminals create a sense of luxury and restraint, reading as formal, premium, and carefully curated rather than casual or utilitarian.
Likely designed to evoke a contemporary high-fashion serif with classic roots, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and visual refinement. The intent appears focused on delivering a premium, display-forward voice that still holds together in well-set editorial text.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and a steady baseline presence despite the extremely fine hairlines, with punctuation and numerals matching the same refined contrast and tapering. Capitals present a dignified, stately silhouette, while the lowercase maintains an elegant, flowing cadence suitable for longer lines when set with enough size and leading.
