A delicate serif design with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The serifs are fine and sharply defined, with wedge-like and tapered endings that keep the silhouette clean rather than bracketing heavily into the stems. Round forms (C, O, Q, o, e) show a clear vertical stress and smooth, controlled curves, while joins remain slender and precise. Capitals feel stately and measured with generous counters, and the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with narrow entry/exit strokes, a two-storey “g,” and compact, tidy details on “a,” “c,” and “e.” Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with thin cross-strokes and terminals for a refined, display-ready texture.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and other premium communications where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It performs especially well for display sizes—titles, pull quotes, and refined typographic moments—where its sharp terminals and delicate strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking contemporary fashion/editorial typography with a classic foundation. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing give it a poised, formal character that reads as premium and intentional, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines can shine.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with classic proportions and disciplined structure. Its focus on crisp hairlines, pronounced contrast, and orderly rhythm suggests an aim toward sophisticated editorial and brand typography rather than utilitarian body copy at small sizes.
In text settings the spacing appears balanced and even, producing an airy color that emphasizes elegance over density. The font’s thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a crisp sparkle, while the restrained ornamentation keeps it within a conventional, bookish serif tradition rather than an overtly decorative style.
