A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline terminals, combining crisp vertical stems with finely tapered curves. Serifs are small and sharp, often bracketed, giving the outlines a cut, precise finish. Capitals feel wide and open with generous counters, while the lowercase shows a smooth, bookish rhythm with rounded bowls and slender joins. Figures are similarly high-contrast, with a mix of straight-sided and curving forms that stay light on the page.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined display typography where its high contrast can shine. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal materials like invitations or programs, especially at larger sizes or in high-quality print where hairlines stay crisp.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward a classic editorial sensibility. Its thin hairlines and sculpted curves convey refinement and calm authority, with a subtle fashion and cultural-magazine flavor rather than a utilitarian voice.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a sophisticated, traditional reading experience with a distinctly modern, fashion-forward lightness. The emphasis on thin horizontals and sharp finishing details suggests an intention to provide an elegant, high-end voice for display and editorial settings.
The design reads best when given room: spacing and counters feel intentionally airy, and the thinnest strokes can visually recede at smaller sizes or on low-contrast rendering. The italics are not shown, and the sample emphasizes how the strong contrast creates a shimmering texture across long lines of text.
