A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline linking strokes, creating a crisp, high-definition texture. Serifs are small and sharply cut, often finishing in wedge-like points with subtle flaring where strokes meet terminals, giving the letterforms a tapered, chiseled feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round bowls that stay open and clean; joins and shoulders remain restrained rather than bulbous. Overall proportions feel elegant and slightly narrow in impression, with generous internal whitespace and a steady vertical rhythm that keeps long text looking composed.
Well-suited to editorial design where contrast and refinement are assets—magazines, lookbooks, and culture or lifestyle layouts. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging, and works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and other prominent typographic moments where its sharp terminals and elegant modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, combining classical poise with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its thin hairlines and precise terminals read as sophisticated and premium, while the controlled contrast adds drama without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium serif voice by pairing dramatic contrast with crisp, tapered terminals and subtle flaring at stroke endings. It aims for a polished reading experience with a fashionable edge, balancing classical structure with a more modern, razor-clean finish.
The capitals present a stately presence with crisp horizontals and disciplined curves, while the lowercase maintains an airy color that stays readable at display and larger text sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender diagonals and clean, pointed terminals that match the letterforms’ precision.
