This typeface is a delicate serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and hairline connecting strokes. The serifs read as small, sharp wedges with a subtle flared behavior, giving vertical stems a sculpted, tapered finish rather than blunt terminals. Proportions are classical and slightly narrow in many capitals, while curves are smooth and controlled with crisp joins. The lowercase shows a restrained, bookish rhythm with a two-storey a and g, fine entry/exit strokes, and compact, tidy bowls; overall spacing feels measured, letting the high contrast and thin horizontals define the texture.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or journal covers, fashion and beauty branding, and refined poster work. It can also work for short blocks of high-end editorial text at generous sizes and leading, where the delicate hairlines have room to breathe.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, balancing formal tradition with a contemporary, airy lightness. It evokes fashion and cultural publishing—confident, polished, and quiet rather than loud—suited to settings where elegance and restraint are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classical serif construction, using extreme contrast and tapered, flared endings to create a distinctive, premium voice. It prioritizes elegance and typographic sparkle in display contexts while keeping letterforms conventional enough to remain versatile for editorial use.
Large sizes emphasize the razor-thin hairlines and sharp serif details, while the numerals and punctuation maintain the same refined contrast and crispness. The design’s visual interest comes from its tapering terminals and the interplay between strong verticals and extremely thin cross-strokes, producing a bright, shimmering page color.
