A delicate, hairline serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharp serifs. The capitals are tall and poised with generous vertical emphasis and clean, open interior spaces, while the lowercase shows a restrained, bookish structure with a relatively modest x-height and fine joining strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals tend toward pointed or tapered finishes, and the overall rhythm is calm and spacious, relying on thin horizontals and sturdy verticals for its contrast-driven texture. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with elegant curves and minimal, precise detailing that keeps the set feeling consistent at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, editorial display typography, luxury branding, and high-end packaging where sharp contrast and elegant proportions can be showcased. It can work for short-form text in large sizes—pull quotes, deck copy, and refined invitations—when printing or rendering conditions are strong enough to preserve the hairlines.
The tone is luxurious and composed, evoking fashion publishing and classical refinement. Its extreme finesse reads sophisticated and airy, with a cool, polished confidence rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-inflected take on a classical high-contrast serif: slender, vertical, and meticulously finished for sophisticated display typography. It prioritizes elegance, clarity of form, and a polished page color over robustness at small sizes.
In the text sample, the high-contrast strokes create a shimmering texture and pronounced vertical cadence, especially in dense lines. Fine hairlines and sharp details suggest it will be most at home when given ample size, careful spacing, and high-quality reproduction.
