A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, hairline finish. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered, wedge-like entry and exit strokes that create a polished, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and controlled with a subtly calligraphic stress, while verticals remain straight and poised. Proportions feel balanced and text-friendly, with clear counters and a measured rhythm; capitals are stately and open, and the figures follow the same refined contrast and light-footed construction.
Well suited to magazine typography, lookbooks, and other editorial layouts where elegance and contrast are assets. It also fits premium branding, beauty and luxury packaging, and sophisticated headline or display use. For longer passages, it performs best when given sufficient size and breathing room so the fine details stay crisp.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a quiet confidence rather than heaviness. Its thin finishing strokes and crisp detailing read as premium and contemporary, with a classic editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a traditional serif: sharp, minimal serifs paired with dramatic contrast and controlled curves. The aim seems to be refined display impact while remaining coherent enough for short-to-medium text in editorial contexts.
Distinctive details include the long, graceful tail on the Q, the sculpted joins on letters like K and R, and a notably pointed, elegant construction in diagonals such as V, W, and X. In paragraph settings the light hairlines and high contrast create a bright page color, favoring generous sizes and comfortable spacing.
