A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation across stems and curves. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed-to-unbracketed in feel, reading as crisp terminals rather than heavy feet, and the overall color on the page is light and airy. Round letters show smooth, controlled stress and tight joins, while diagonals and apexes (as in A, V, W) resolve into needle-like points. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy with a restrained, vertical rhythm; the g has a distinctive looping descender, and the numerals share the same high-contrast, sculpted construction.
Best suited to display and editorial settings—headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and book or journal titling—where its thin hairlines can be preserved. It can also support refined brand wordmarks and packaging when production quality is high and sizes aren’t too small.
The typeface conveys sophistication and polish, with a cool, high-end tone associated with editorial design. Its sharp detailing and refined contrast give it a poised, formal character that feels suited to luxury and cultural contexts rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif: elegant silhouettes, sharp terminals, and a bright, refined page color optimized for striking typographic hierarchy.
In running text, the strong contrast and fine serifs create a shimmering texture that rewards generous sizes and comfortable leading. The capitals are statuesque and crisp, while the lowercase maintains a calm cadence; punctuation and figures appear similarly delicate, reinforcing an overall premium, print-oriented impression.
