This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline-thin unbracketed serifs and a calm, upright posture. Strokes transition sharply from fine horizontals and serifs to fuller verticals, producing a clean, glassy rhythm at display sizes. Proportions are classical and slightly condensed in feel, with generous sidebearings and open counters that keep the page looking light. Letterforms show restrained detailing—sharp terminals, narrow joins, and tidy curves—while the italics are not present in the samples and the shown forms read consistently roman.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, magazine spreads, pull quotes, and premium brand identities where its high contrast can shine. It can work for short blocks of text in print or high-resolution digital settings, especially when paired with a sturdier companion for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with an editorial sensibility reminiscent of fashion mastheads and high-end packaging. Its thin hairlines and crisp finishing convey sophistication and precision more than warmth or rustic texture.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on a classic modern serif: emphasizing elegance through extreme contrast, crisp hairline serifs, and airy spacing for upscale, image-forward typography.
At smaller sizes the extreme contrast and very fine cross-strokes may appear fragile, while at large sizes the sharp serifs and smooth curves become a defining feature. Numerals share the same refined contrast and look suited to titling and price/edition settings where a light touch is desired.
