A delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines, sharply tapered terminals, and mostly vertical stress. The capitals are clean and evenly proportioned, with crisp bracketless serifs and controlled curves (notably in C/G/O/Q) that keep a smooth, polished rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy with a small, neat ear on “g,” a slender “f,” and a light, precise dot on “i/j,” while numerals follow the same fine-line, fashion-oriented construction. Overall spacing feels open and airy, letting the thin strokes breathe in text and display settings.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, and other display typography where its fine hairlines and contrast can read clearly. It also fits premium branding and formal print pieces such as invitations and certificates, especially when paired with generous leading and careful tracking.
The tone is poised and cultivated, suggesting editorial sophistication and quiet luxury. Its fine detailing and pronounced contrast evoke a classic, fashion-and-literature sensibility rather than a utilitarian one.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a refined page rhythm. The consistent, precise detailing suggests an intention to perform as a tasteful display face that can also carry short passages when set with care.
The design maintains a consistent contrast pattern across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a coherent page color at larger sizes. Sharp joins and thin horizontals give it a crisp sparkle, while rounded bowls stay smooth and restrained, avoiding overly ornate calligraphic gestures.
