A delicate, high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and extremely fine hairlines. The letterforms are generously proportioned and often wide, with crisp, sharp serifs and minimal bracketing, giving a clean, cut-on-stone impression. Curves show a calligraphic logic with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while terminals and joins stay precise and controlled. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure, and several glyphs (notably in the bowls and tails) introduce subtle flourish-like strokes that add a decorative edge without becoming fully script-like.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book or film titles, and premium packaging where fine detail can be preserved. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, but its extremely thin strokes benefit from high-quality output and adequate size/leading.
The font projects a polished, editorial elegance—formal and luxurious with a hint of drama. Its razor-thin details and poised contrast feel suited to cultured, classic contexts where refinement and style are part of the message.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classical, high-contrast serif: elegant, attention-grabbing, and optimized for sophisticated display use. The added flourish in certain curves suggests an intention to balance strict editorial structure with a touch of ornamental personality.
In text settings the hairlines create a shimmering texture and the contrast becomes the dominant rhythm, especially in tightly set lines. The numerals and caps read as display-oriented, and the overall spacing/width gives headlines a stately, composed presence.
