This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with extremely thin hairlines and sharper, slightly thicker stems. Serifs are fine and tapered, giving terminals a crisp, engraved quality rather than a blunt or slabby finish. Round letters are drawn with generous, smooth curves and a light, open interior, while verticals read as tall and poised. Overall spacing feels measured and restrained, producing a clean rhythm in both capitals and lowercase without looking rigid.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, fashion branding, and elegant invitations where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It works best in larger sizes and in settings with ample whitespace, where the hairlines and fine serifs can remain clear and intentional.
The tone is refined and understated, with a quiet luxury associated with fashion, culture, and literary publishing. Its lightness and sharp contrast suggest sophistication and precision, creating an airy, polished voice rather than a hearty or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished take on a classic text-serif model, emphasizing elegance through slender proportions, crisp serifs, and pronounced stroke contrast. It prioritizes a graceful silhouette and sophisticated page color for display and editorial typography.
In the samples, the contrast and thin horizontals become a defining feature, making the face feel best when given room and size. Curves (notably in C/G/O and the numerals) look expansive and smooth, while joins and arms stay minimal and controlled, reinforcing a formal, contemporary-classic impression.
