A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and stronger vertical stems, producing a crisp, polished texture on the page. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and smooth, calligraphic curves that stay controlled rather than flamboyant. Proportions feel classical with moderate ascenders/descenders and a balanced x-height; capitals are stately and open, and the overall spacing reads even and composed in text. Numerals are similarly delicate, with clear modulation and elegant curves.
Best suited to editorial layouts, book-style typography, and elegant branding where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It can work well for display sizes, pull quotes, and headings, and can also serve as body text when printed or set with enough size and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward classic book typography and fashion/editorial refinement. Its thin detailing and sharp finishing convey precision and sophistication rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, formal reading experience with a premium, contemporary finish—prioritizing elegance, contrast-driven rhythm, and a traditional serif voice for sophisticated typography.
In the text sample, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates a bright, airy color with pronounced sparkle, especially around round letters and diagonals. The design maintains a consistent axis and careful curve transitions, giving it a calm, traditional demeanor despite the dramatic contrast.
