A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline terminals. The serifs are small and sharply cut with subtle bracketing, producing crisp entry and exit strokes. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with a classical, high-contrast construction; curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm feels measured rather than condensed. Lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with slender stems, open counters, and clean, calligraphic-like joins that keep text color light and airy.
Well-suited to magazine layouts, cultural/editorial typography, and refined brand applications where a light, high-contrast serif can provide sophistication. It works particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages at comfortable sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The tone is polished and literary, leaning toward fashionable editorial elegance rather than rustic or utilitarian texture. Its high-contrast sparkle and restrained detailing suggest sophistication and formality, with a quiet sense of luxury.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast text serif, emphasizing elegance and clarity through fine serifs, controlled proportions, and a luminous page color.
In text, the fine hairlines and sharp serifs create a bright, high-definition texture with noticeable shimmer, especially around diagonals and curved joins. The numerals follow the same refined contrast, with graceful curves and minimalistic terminals that match the uppercase styling.
