A delicate high-contrast serif with hairline thins and crisp, tapered serifs that read sharply even at larger sizes. The letterforms feel classical and controlled, with smooth, near-circular bowls (notably in C, G, O) and a restrained, vertical stress. Capitals are stately and spacious, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with fine entry strokes and clean terminals; the overall rhythm is airy, with generous internal counters and a light typographic color. Numerals are similarly refined, mixing straight stems with thin connecting strokes for a sophisticated, display-leaning finish.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other editorial settings where high contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, lookbooks, invitations, and packaging where a refined, fashion-forward serif is needed.
The font conveys a polished, luxury tone—poised, modern-classic, and quietly dramatic through its extreme stroke contrast. It feels at home in premium editorial contexts where a sense of refinement and restraint is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif, emphasizing elegance, sharpness, and a light typographic color for upscale display and editorial use.
Details like the sharp apexes in A/W, the sculpted diagonals in V/X, and the long, hairline elements in characters such as Q and y emphasize precision over robustness. The thin horizontals and fine serifs suggest best performance where rendering conditions are favorable and sizes are not too small.
