A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-thin hairlines. Vertical stems read crisp and steady while curved strokes taper to needle-like terminals, creating a bright, glossy texture on the page. Serifs are small and clean, with a largely unbracketed feel and precise joins. Proportions favor tall capitals and relatively small lowercase with a modest x-height, giving the face an elegant, slightly formal rhythm; counters are open and smooth, and punctuation and numerals keep the same high-contrast, carefully balanced drawing.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and striking poster titles where the hairlines and sharp contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers in editorial layouts, particularly when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve its delicate detail.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, with a polished, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrasts and airy hairlines feel luxurious and couture-adjacent, while the classic structure keeps it rooted in traditional book and magazine typography. The impression is confident and sophisticated rather than casual.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, polished take on a classic high-contrast serif: maximizing elegance through strong verticals, crisp serifs, and very fine hairlines while keeping proportions disciplined for editorial composition.
At text sizes the fine horizontals and thin strokes create a sparkling, light color that benefits from generous spacing and high-quality reproduction. The design’s strength is in its crisp silhouettes and controlled vertical emphasis, which read especially well in large settings and high-contrast layouts.
