A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and pronounced thick–thin modulation through the stems. Serifs are fine and sharply drawn with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, engraved feel rather than a blunt finish. The uppercase shows generous proportions and smooth, open curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with narrow joins and compact counters. Overall spacing reads airy and rhythmic, with a refined, formal texture that stays consistent from display sizes down into larger text settings.
This style excels in editorial headlines, fashion and cultural magazine layouts, book and album covers, and premium branding where a refined serif voice is needed. It can also work for pull quotes and short passages at comfortable sizes, especially when paired with ample leading and a sturdier companion for longer body copy.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, evoking classic book and magazine typography with a contemporary, couture-like gloss. Its lightness and contrast create a sense of luxury and restraint, suited to designs that want elegance without ornament.
The design intent appears focused on delivering a modern, high-contrast serif for sophisticated typography—prioritizing graceful curves, sharp finishing details, and an elegant page color suitable for premium editorial and brand applications.
The numerals follow the same refined contrast and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside text rather than as geometric lining figures. Curved letters maintain smooth, continuous stress, and the font’s sharp details suggest it will reward generous sizing and good printing or rendering conditions.
