A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline detailing. Vertical stems carry most of the weight while horizontals and connecting strokes fall to extremely fine lines, creating a distinctly high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, giving terminals a clean, precise finish; curves show a smooth, controlled transition with a clear vertical stress. Proportions feel classical and balanced, with spacious counters and a measured x-height that keeps lowercase forms airy while retaining definition. Figures and capitals read as display-oriented, with slender joins and delicate interior shapes that emphasize the type’s light, polished texture.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its fine details can breathe—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty collateral, luxury packaging, and high-end brand wordmarks. It can work for short paragraphs in print-style editorial settings when set generously with comfortable tracking and leading, but it is primarily a display face.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial feel that suggests sophistication and restraint. The fine hairlines and crisp serifs add drama without ornament, projecting a modern, high-end sensibility and a slightly formal, gallery-like calm.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif elegance, prioritizing refined silhouettes, crisp finishing, and a luminous, premium texture for headline and branding use.
In the text sample, the font maintains an even, bright page color at larger sizes, but the hairline strokes and thin serifs visually demand ample size and good rendering conditions to preserve clarity. Curved letters and round figures show an especially striking contrast, and punctuation/details (such as dots and apostrophes) appear light and precise, reinforcing the delicate character.
