A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. Stems are straight and polished, while bowls and curves are smoothly drawn with a controlled, slightly calligraphic tension. Serifs are fine and tapered rather than bracketed, giving edges a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions are relatively narrow and vertical, with generous ascenders/descenders and a light, open color that keeps large sizes feeling airy. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin joins that read as display-oriented.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and hairline serifs can be appreciated. It also fits elegant printed pieces—covers, invitations, and high-end packaging—particularly when set with comfortable tracking and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a quiet formality that suggests premium publishing and high-end branding. Its high contrast and hairline details convey sophistication and precision rather than warmth or sturdiness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif letterforms, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a refined silhouette for prominent typographic settings.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and tight joins create a sparkling texture at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may demand sufficient resolution and spacing to keep fine strokes from disappearing. The uppercase has a stately presence, and the lowercase adds a slightly more fluid rhythm, especially in characters like g, y, and s.
