A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, sharp hairlines. Serifs are fine and mostly unbracketed, with a crisp, engraved feel and clean joins. The design is notably wide, with generous letterfit and open internal spaces; round letters (O, C) read expansive, while verticals stay slender. Lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a light, calligraphic tail on y; stroke terminals stay tapered and precise. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with thin spurs and subtle curves that keep them bright on the page.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-size editorial typography where its contrast and width can read clearly. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined, formal serif voice. For smaller text, it will be most comfortable in controlled production settings that preserve its hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, balancing classical bookishness with fashion-led sophistication. Its extreme delicacy and spacious proportions create an airy, ceremonial presence that feels at home in luxury and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif that delivers luxury and clarity through wide proportions, crisp serifs, and a bright page color. It aims to evoke classic refinement while feeling contemporary and fashion-forward in layout.
In text, the wide set and hairline detailing produce a bright, shimmering texture with strong vertical rhythm. The thinnest strokes and fine serifs suggest best results at display sizes or in high-quality print and rendering contexts where the hairlines can hold up.
