This typeface is a delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and open, with a calm, even rhythm and generous internal counters; round letters like O and Q feel spacious, while vertical stems stay crisp and clean. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with sharp, tapered finishing on many strokes, and diagonals (V, W, Y) resolve into slender points. The lowercase shows traditional text proportions with clear ascenders/descenders, a two-storey a, and compact, neatly tapered terminals that keep the overall texture light and polished.
Well suited to magazine and book typography where an elegant, high-contrast serif is desired, especially for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and chapter openers. It also fits luxury-oriented identities and printed collateral such as invitations or programs where delicacy and refinement are priorities.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, reading as premium and editorial rather than utilitarian. Its high-contrast sparkle and restrained forms suggest sophistication and formality, with a subtle literary, fashion-forward feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical text serif: maintaining familiar proportions and readability cues while emphasizing a lighter, more glamorous contrast and finely drawn serifs for a polished, premium voice.
At display sizes the fine serifs and thin horizontals create a bright, refined “engraved” impression, while in paragraphs the texture remains smooth and consistent with clear word shapes. Numerals appear lining-style and similarly high-contrast, matching the letterforms’ crisp, minimal finishing.
