A delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced hairline joins and tapered strokes paired with sharp, clean serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with oval forms that feel slightly vertical and a crisp, polished edge quality. Uppercase proportions read stately and spacious, while lowercase shows a modest x-height with long ascenders and descenders that add airy rhythm. Terminals are fine and pointed or subtly flared, and the overall spacing and letterfit lean open, emphasizing clarity and elegance at larger sizes.
This face performs best in display contexts such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and hairline detailing can stay crisp. It also suits formal materials—invites, programs, and packaging—especially when set with generous tracking and ample white space.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—formal without feeling heavy. Its hairline details and crisp contrast suggest editorial sophistication and a fashion-forward sensibility, lending an impression of restraint, precision, and quiet luxury.
The design appears intended as a modern, refined serif that prioritizes elegance and contrast over rugged text durability. Its proportions and detailing aim to deliver a luxurious, editorial look with clear, well-formed letter shapes for prominent typographic settings.
The numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender stems and careful curvature that stays consistent with the text styles. A distinctive, sweeping tail on the uppercase Q and the sharp diagonals on letters like V/W/X reinforce a polished, slightly dramatic character typical of display-oriented modern serifs.
