A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals that stay crisp even at display sizes. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a modern, engraved feel; curves are smooth and taut, and joins are clean with minimal bracketing. Proportions are balanced and slightly narrow-feeling in rhythm, with generous internal space and an overall light color on the page. Numerals and capitals follow the same high-contrast logic, and the lowercase shows refined shapes with slender stems and carefully controlled terminals.
Best suited for magazine-style editorial work, headlines, and brand applications where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a premium voice. It also fits invitations and luxury packaging where delicacy and elegance are prioritized; for long passages, it will benefit from comfortable sizes and ample leading to preserve its light, detailed forms.
The font conveys a poised, high-end tone—quietly luxurious rather than loud—suggesting editorial polish and contemporary sophistication. Its light touch and contrast lend it a sense of finesse and formality, suited to understated, premium communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a couture/editorial sensibility—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a bright, spacious typographic color.
The design relies heavily on thin strokes and small details (hairlines, fine serifs), so visual presence comes more from contrast and spacing than from weight. In text settings, the texture appears open and airy, with clear differentiation between round and straight forms.
