A delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, razor-fine hairlines, and crisp, unbracketed serifs. The letterforms are notably wide with generous sidebearings, creating an open, spacious rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a clear vertical emphasis and sharp terminals; joins and crossbars often resolve into extremely thin strokes, giving the design a shimmering, etched quality. Numerals follow the same contrast and width, with elegant, rounded bowls and fine detailing.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, upscale packaging, and large-format posters. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or opening spreads when set with comfortable leading and careful contrast management to keep the hairlines visible.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing restraint with drama. Its airy spacing and filament-like details suggest couture, high-end packaging, and sophisticated magazine typography, where refinement and visual impact matter more than rugged utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic contrasted serif: wide proportions, disciplined vertical emphasis, and extremely fine detailing that prioritizes elegance and sophistication in display-centric settings.
At text sizes the hairlines and fine serifs read as intentionally fragile, so the design benefits from ample size and clean reproduction conditions. The wide set and high contrast create a distinctive, stylish texture in headlines and short passages, especially where generous leading can preserve the light internal details.
