A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and crisp, finely bracketed serifs. The curves are smooth and expansive, with a noticeably light overall color on the page and a poised vertical stress. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed in the rhythm, with generous counters and a clean, controlled modulation between thick stems and thin hairlines. Numerals and capitals echo the same refined contrast, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with a comparatively tall x-height for such a fine design.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and invitation or packaging typography where its fine contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for short editorial blocks at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing, especially in high-resolution print or on crisp screens.
The tone is polished and elegant, projecting a quiet luxury and a classic editorial sensibility. Its thin hairlines and precise detailing create an airy, sophisticated impression suited to curated, high-end typography rather than utilitarian reading environments.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a light, couture-like presence—prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and refined rhythm for editorial and brand-forward applications.
At larger sizes the sharpness of serifs and the dramatic stroke modulation become the defining character, giving headlines a graceful, fashion-forward presence. The overall rhythm is calm and consistent, with rounded forms (like O and o) feeling especially open and smooth against the narrow hairlines.
