A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered, hairline serifs, giving the letterforms a precise, polished finish. The proportions are relatively narrow with generous verticality, and curves are smooth and controlled, especially in round letters like O and C. Terminals often end in fine points or subtle wedges, and the overall rhythm is clean and even, with a noticeably light color on the page. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with open counters and delicate joining strokes.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, editorial display, and elegant brand identities where high contrast can signal sophistication. It also fits invitations, packaging, and title treatments that benefit from a light, refined typographic voice. For best results, use at larger sizes or in high-quality print/digital contexts where the fine hairlines can remain clear.
The tone is poised and upscale, evoking editorial refinement and classical sophistication. Its delicate stroke work reads as luxurious and formal, with an airy, boutique feel that suits premium branding and cultured publishing.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, fashion-forward serif voice built on strong thick–thin contrast and precise finishing details. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama in display and editorial settings while maintaining a conventional, readable structure.
In the text sample, the thin connecting strokes and small details become visually prominent, emphasizing the font’s crispness more than its mass. The design favors clarity through contrast and careful spacing rather than a dense texture, so it presents best when given room to breathe.
