A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and thin connecting strokes paired against slightly stronger verticals. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, giving terminals a crisp, engraved feel rather than a blunt finish. The proportions are tall and stately, with generous counters and a clean, even rhythm across text. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall color on the page stays light and airy, especially noticeable in the numerals and rounded letters.
Well suited to editorial layouts, fashion-oriented design, and luxury branding where a light, high-contrast serif can deliver a premium look. It excels in headlines, pull quotes, titling, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, especially when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a quiet sense of luxury and editorial sophistication. Its fine strokes and precise detailing feel couture-adjacent and ceremonial, lending a poised, formal voice without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast book-and-magazine serif look with a contemporary, ultra-refined finish. Its emphasis on hairline detail and crisp serifs suggests a focus on elegance and display presence while remaining structurally conventional.
In running text the hairlines create pronounced sparkle, and the design’s elegance comes from restrained shapes rather than flourishes. The numerals and capitals read particularly display-forward due to the extreme contrast and fine finishing, while lowercase maintains a measured, classical calm.
