A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing. The letterforms are tall and generously spaced, with long ascenders/descenders and a calm vertical axis that reads distinctly formal. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, and many strokes terminate in tapered, pointed ends rather than blunt cuts, reinforcing a precise, engraved feel. Round characters show smooth, controlled curves with tight joins, while capitals carry a stately, slightly narrow proportion that maintains an even, airy rhythm in text.
Best suited to editorial design, magazine headlines, book covers, and high-end branding where generous size and clean reproduction will preserve the fine serifs and contrast. It also fits invitations, programs, and elegant packaging. For longer passages, it will perform most confidently in well-printed, larger-size settings where its hairlines remain intact.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a quiet sense of sophistication that suggests fashion and culture rather than utilitarian reading. Its lightness and sharp detailing create a premium, curated voice—more gallery program than paperback—while staying restrained and traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic reading of a high-contrast serif: refined, minimal in weight, and oriented toward polished display and editorial typography. Its consistent vertical structure and crisp finishing emphasize sophistication and typographic grace over ruggedness or density.
In continuous text the thin hairlines and sharp joins are visually prominent, giving the font a shimmering, high-definition texture at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with slim stems and elegant curves that suit display settings where their delicacy can be preserved.
