A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals that give the face a light, airy rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, with tapered terminals and a generally smooth, calligraphic flow through curves. Capitals are tall and graceful with generous internal space and controlled, narrow joins; rounds (C, G, O, Q) are clean and near-monoline at the thinnest points, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show crisp contrast. Lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with slim stems, compact apertures, and softly bracketed transitions, producing a refined texture at text sizes. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with thin cross-strokes and open, understated forms.
Best suited for magazine and book display, pull quotes, and sophisticated headlines where its contrast can shine. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal stationery such as invitations or event programs, particularly in layouts with generous whitespace and controlled typographic hierarchy.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, projecting a quiet sophistication associated with fashion, art direction, and premium editorial design. Its light touch and high-contrast sparkle feel poised and formal rather than warm or rustic, with an intentionally minimal, contemporary refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic serif—maximizing contrast and elegance while keeping forms clean and restrained for refined editorial and branding contexts.
In running text the thin strokes create a shimmering, high-end page color, but the hairlines and sharp details suggest it will look best with ample size, careful spacing, and high-quality reproduction. The design emphasizes verticality and openness, giving headlines a statuesque presence without feeling heavy.
