A delicate serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems read as straight and vertical with a clear vertical stress, while joins stay clean and largely unbracketed for a sharp, engraved feel. Proportions are graceful and slightly narrow in many letters, with long ascenders and descenders that create an open, airy rhythm. Curves in C, G, O, and Q are smooth and taut, and several characters show subtle calligraphic flicks and ball-like terminals (notably in g, y, and some numerals), adding a hint of ornament without becoming script-like.
Best suited for large sizes where the hairlines and crisp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and event or cultural posters. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or titling, but will generally benefit from generous sizing and comfortable spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its whisper-thin details and sculpted contrast project sophistication and high-end restraint, while the occasional flourished terminal brings a lightly romantic, classic-bookish edge.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern classic display serif: a high-fashion, print-inspired look with precise, vertical structure and expressive, refined terminals. Its emphasis is on elegance and typographic drama rather than utilitarian text neutrality.
The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp finishing, so the light strokes visually recede while the main verticals carry the color. Uppercase forms look stately and spacious; lowercase details (especially g, j, y, and t) introduce distinctive, slightly playful terminal shapes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and include curving details that feel display-oriented.
