A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Stems are slender and smooth with sharp, hairline serifs and minimal bracketing, creating crisp joins and a polished silhouette. Proportions feel classical and open, with generous counters and careful spacing that keeps the texture light on the page. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with delicate entry/exit strokes, while numerals follow the same high-contrast logic for a cohesive typographic color.
Well suited to magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and other premium identities that benefit from a polished, high-contrast serif. It also works for book typography and refined display settings, particularly for titles, pull quotes, and large-size text where its hairline details remain distinct.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a calm, high-end restraint typical of editorial and fashion typography. Its delicate detailing and airy rhythm convey sophistication and formality rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion serif voice: precise, high-contrast forms with sharp finishing, optimized for elegant composition and a bright, upscale page presence.
In longer text the fine hairlines and sharp terminals emphasize clarity and precision, producing an even, luminous gray when set with comfortable leading. The design reads best where the thin strokes can be preserved and where subtle contrast can be appreciated.
