This serif has an extremely delicate hairline presence with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, pointed serifs. Forms are open and generously spaced, with smooth, circular bowls (notably in O and C) and long, straight verticals that create a clean, airy rhythm. The lowercase shows a restrained, contemporary classic structure with a single-storey g, fine entry/exit strokes, and a light, sharply tapered italic-like tension in a few diagonals and terminals despite the overall upright stance. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, combining slender stems with controlled curves and minimal ornament.
Best suited for display typography where its fine hairlines and dramatic contrast can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, luxury and beauty branding, and high-end packaging. It also fits posters and invitations that call for a refined, formal voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample white space.
The tone is poised and luxurious, evoking high-end publishing and fashion branding. Its featherweight strokes and polished contrast read as sophisticated and formal, with a cool, modern restraint rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and an editorial polish. Its narrow hairlines and crisp terminals suggest a focus on sophisticated display settings rather than rugged, everyday text use.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and hairlines visually recede, emphasizing vertical strokes and giving lines a shimmering, editorial texture at display sizes. The design relies on precise spacing and clean curves to maintain clarity despite the very fine details.
