A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-fine hairlines. The letterforms are built on clean, vertical stress with crisp, unbracketed wedge serifs and tapered terminals that often end in sharp points. Capitals are tall and stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a restrained, bookish structure with a two-storey “g” and a narrow, high-contrast “e.” Numerals follow the same refined logic, with thin joins and elegant curves that read best at comfortable display sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined editorial layouts where high contrast and fine detail can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and invitation work that benefits from a polished, classical voice. For longer text, it will perform best when given enough size and breathing room to preserve its thin strokes and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking high-end publishing and fashion typography. Its calm, precise drawing and bright page color feel formal and cultured rather than casual. The sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of drama and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The design intention reads as a contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast serif typography: maximizing elegance through hairline precision, sculpted curves, and disciplined proportions. It aims to deliver a premium, print-forward look with strong hierarchy potential between capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Spacing appears airy and controlled, contributing to a light, sparkling texture in paragraphs. The design favors long, continuous curves and slender horizontals, giving the text a graceful rhythm that rewards careful typesetting and ample size/leading.
