A delicate display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharply finished serifs. Stems are mostly straight and vertical, with rounded bowls that show clear vertical stress and very fine hairlines at joins and terminals. Proportions lean generously wide with open counters and ample sidebearings, producing an airy, luxurious rhythm in text. Details such as the thin crossbars, narrow joins, and precise curves give the design a polished, engraving-like finish.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and luxury branding where its fine hairlines and contrast can shine. It also fits premium packaging and beauty, jewelry, or hospitality identities, and works well for short text blocks in editorial layouts when set with comfortable leading and not-too-small sizes.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a cultured, editorial sophistication. Its high-precision contrast and generous spacing evoke premium packaging and fashion publishing, reading as quiet, confident, and formal rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: wide, airy proportions paired with crisp, hairline detailing for an upscale, display-oriented voice. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact, aiming for refined typography in curated, design-forward contexts.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs read especially clean and decorative, while the wide set and open counters help keep words from feeling crowded. Figures share the same refined contrast, giving numerals a stylish, display-forward presence.
