A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced stroke contrast, pairing narrow stems with broad, gently swelling curves. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered, often ending in needle-like points that give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions lean tall and statuesque, with generous counters and a measured rhythm that stays calm even in dense text. Curves are carefully modeled—rounds are smooth and open, while joins and terminals stay clean and precise for a polished, high-end appearance.
Best suited to editorial design, luxury branding, and headline settings where its fine details can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for invitations and sophisticated packaging, especially in layouts that allow ample whitespace. In longer passages, it rewards careful typesetting and comfortable sizes to preserve its delicate hairlines and crisp serif detail.
The tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a fashion-forward, editorial sensibility with a classic undercurrent. Its extreme finesse reads as premium and formal, suggesting refinement rather than warmth or ruggedness. Overall it feels like a modern take on traditional book and magazine typography, designed to look composed and sophisticated.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-like elegance by pushing contrast and fineness while keeping letterforms controlled and traditionally structured. Its sharp, tapered serifs and airy internal spaces aim to create a refined, high-status texture that stands out in display typography and polished editorial compositions.
In the sample text, the thin connecting strokes and pointed terminals become more prominent, creating a sparkling texture and noticeable whitespace between strokes. Numerals show the same high-contrast modeling, with graceful curves and minimal, sharp finishing details that reinforce the font’s sleek, display-ready character.
