A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and slender, tapering strokes. Serifs are minimal and hairline-like, with a subtle flared expansion where strokes terminate, giving capitals a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish rather than blunt endings. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and joins stay crisp, producing a bright page color at text sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, while the lowercase keeps an elegant rhythm with narrow entry/exit strokes and gently bracketed transitions.
This font is well suited to display typography where finesse and contrast can be appreciated—magazine and editorial settings, brand identities, premium packaging, and sophisticated headlines. It can also work for short text passages in high-quality print or well-rendered digital environments, where the hairline details and flared endings remain crisp and intact.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, balancing classical poise with a contemporary lightness. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing suggest sophistication and restraint, with a fashion/editorial sensibility rather than a utilitarian one. The font reads as calm and luxurious, designed to feel expensive without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast reading experience with a modernized classical voice. By combining hairline serifs with subtly flared terminals and clean, open curves, it aims to project elegance and clarity while maintaining a distinctive, editorial personality.
Numerals appear refined and display-oriented, with thin hairlines and graceful curves that match the letterforms’ contrast. The uppercase shows a consistent vertical emphasis and carefully controlled proportions, while the lowercase maintains an airy texture with distinctive, slender ascenders and delicate terminals. Because the thinnest strokes are extremely fine, the design’s character is most apparent when reproduction quality is high.
