A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and sharply bracketed, with tapered terminals that give the forms a crisp, etched feel. Proportions are fairly classical with generous counters and smooth, controlled curves, while verticals stay steady and straight. The overall rhythm is open and calm, favoring clean, high-end letterforms over sturdy text color.
Well-suited to large-size settings where contrast and hairline details can be appreciated—editorial headlines, magazine display, book covers, and refined brand identities. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or large on-screen text, especially when ample spacing and comfortable sizes are used.
The tone is poised and luxurious, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than everyday utilitarian text. Its lightness and crisp detailing suggest formality, restraint, and a premium aesthetic suitable for fashion and culture contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif sophistication: high contrast, crisp detailing, and graceful proportions aimed at polished editorial and branding typography. It prioritizes elegance and visual finesse, especially in display and titling roles.
Round letters show a graceful contrast pattern and careful curve tension, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X) create sharp, sculpted silhouettes. The numerals follow the same refined logic, with slender stems and elegant curves that match the uppercase’s stately presence.
