A delicate serif with an extremely thin hairline vocabulary and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical strokes read as slender, with soft, flared terminals rather than blunt serifs, giving many stems a tapered, calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, with large open bowls and generous counters; joins are crisp and minimally bracketed. Uppercase proportions feel tall and stately, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish rhythm with a relatively modest x-height and long, fine ascenders/descenders. Numerals and punctuation maintain the same razor-thin detailing, reinforcing a consistent, editorial texture at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography: magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and elegant invitations. It can also work for short subheads or deck text when printed well or used at sufficiently large sizes, where the thin strokes remain legible.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, leaning toward fashion and high-end editorial styling. Its lightness and sharp contrast create a polished, sophisticated voice that feels formal and curated rather than casual.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast elegance with a slightly calligraphic softness at stroke endings. The combination of refined proportions, flared terminals, and airy spacing suggests an intention to evoke premium editorial and brand aesthetics while keeping a graceful, contemporary finish.
The design relies on very fine hairlines and small details (especially in diagonals and terminals), so clarity is strongest when set with ample size and comfortable spacing. The flared endings add warmth and movement compared with a purely rigid modern serif, while still preserving a crisp, contemporary sheen.
