A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline details. Stems tend to taper into finely cut, bracketed serifs, while rounds are smoothly drawn with a slightly calligraphic stress that adds movement without becoming cursive. Capitals feel tall and composed, with sharp apexes and clean joins; the lowercase is similarly polished, with a compact, controlled rhythm and relatively small, precise punctuation-like details (dots and terminals). Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing strong verticals with thin cross-strokes and careful curves for an overall high-end, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to magazine layouts, books, and other editorial environments where contrast and finesse are desired. It will shine in headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities, and can also serve as a text face in well-printed or high-resolution contexts that preserve its fine details.
The tone is poised and luxurious, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than warmth. Its crisp contrast and fine finishing convey formality, restraint, and a sense of modern classicism often associated with premium publishing and fashion contexts.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, pairing graceful proportions with sharp finishing for an upscale editorial voice. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and typographic color, balancing readability with a distinctly stylish presence.
The design relies heavily on thin connecting strokes and sharp hairlines, which creates a bright, airy page color at larger sizes and a distinctly sparkling texture in text. Curved letters show careful modulation and slightly flared endings that give the face a tailored, display-capable character even in paragraph settings.
