A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline serifs and finely tapered strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, with pointed, calligraphic-like terminals on letters such as C, S, and a, and a crisp, minimalist treatment of joins. Proportions feel classical with generous counters and a measured rhythm; the uppercase is poised and open, while the lowercase shows refined details like a double-storey g and a lightly bracketed, slender construction throughout. Numerals follow the same thin-and-thick contrast, with elegant curves and restrained finishing strokes.
This font is well suited to magazine typography, book titling, and refined branding where a graceful, high-contrast serif can carry an upscale tone. It performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and larger text where the thin details and crisp terminals can be appreciated without breaking up.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward elegance. Its light touch and sharp finishing details give it a premium, cultured character suited to quiet luxury rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast text serif: light in color, sharply finished, and optimized for elegant reading and editorial hierarchy. Its consistent contrast and restrained serifs suggest a focus on sophistication and typographic finesse.
In paragraph settings the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, airy texture with pronounced contrast, producing a graceful shimmer at larger sizes. The design reads as intentionally minimal in serif mass, prioritizing sharpness and finesse over robustness.
