A delicate serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The construction is largely upright with a vertical axis and clean, sharp joins, while terminals often flare subtly, giving a slightly calligraphic finish without becoming italic. Counters are fairly open and proportions lean on the wide side, with compact lowercase height relative to the tall capitals and ascenders. Overall spacing feels airy and measured, emphasizing fine detail and contrast more than mass.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display typography where its fine hairlines can be preserved. It also fits upscale branding and printed pieces like invitations or programs, especially when set with generous leading and comfortable letterspacing.
The tone is refined and composed, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-leaning elegance. Its thin hairlines and poised rhythm suggest sophistication and restraint, leaning formal rather than friendly or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic contrasted serif: tall, elegant capitals paired with a smaller, tidy lowercase, prioritizing grace and visual sparkle in large sizes.
Uppercase forms read stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase introduces a touch of character through small curls and tapered endings (notably in letters like g, j, and y). Numerals echo the same contrast and delicacy, with thin horizontals and carefully controlled curves that suit prominent, large-size settings.
