A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline details. Stems and arches are sharply tapered, with thin horizontal strokes and crisp, bracketless serifs that read as fine wedges. Proportions feel slightly condensed and vertical, with generous counters and a steady baseline rhythm; the lowercase shows a modest x-height and long, slender ascenders. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall texture stays light and airy even at larger sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where high contrast can add sparkle and authority. It can also support luxury branding and packaging, especially for beauty, fashion, and cultural institutions, and works effectively in posters and display settings that allow its fine hairlines to hold.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a quiet formality typical of luxury and editorial typography. Its high-contrast sparkle and fine terminals give it a poised, sophisticated presence that feels at home in fashion and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion serif voice with a refined, high-contrast construction. It prioritizes elegance, sharpness, and a clean typographic rhythm for display and editorial use.
The numerals follow the same refined contrast, with an open, elegant “4” and a narrow “1”, and rounded figures that keep the page color light. In the text sample, the thin hairlines and sharp joins create a crisp, high-end look, favoring well-spaced settings where detail can remain visible.
