This serif typeface uses extremely thin hairlines with pronounced thick–thin modulation, creating a crisp, high-definition look. Proportions are tall and compact with narrow set widths, long ascenders/descenders, and generous interior whitespace that keeps counters open despite the slender strokes. Serifs are small and sharp, and curves are drawn with smooth, controlled tension—seen in the round letters and the tapered diagonals of V/W/X. The lowercase shows a classic text-seriffed structure with a two-storey g, a single-storey a, and a fine, vertical rhythm that reads as formal and carefully balanced in continuous text.
Well suited to magazine and book typography where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired, especially for headings, pull quotes, and elegant titling. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, packaging, and formal invitations where delicacy and sophistication are key, and can work for short passages of text when set with ample size and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is polished and poised, with a quiet sense of luxury driven by its delicate stroke weight and disciplined contrast. It feels editorial and cultured rather than rustic or utilitarian, leaning toward a modern, boutique sophistication while still retaining conventional serif manners.
The design appears intended to deliver a graceful, contemporary take on a conventional serif, emphasizing height, contrast, and precise finishing for an upscale, editorial voice. Its narrow footprint suggests an aim for compact composition while maintaining an airy, elegant color on the page.
At display sizes the hairline details and sharp terminals read cleanly and produce a distinctive sparkle; in denser settings the thin horizontals and fine joins may require careful size, spacing, and printing conditions to preserve clarity. Numerals follow the same slender, high-contrast logic with elegant curves and minimal weight.
