This typeface features extremely thin hairlines paired with stronger verticals, producing a sharp, high-contrast serif texture. Serifs are fine and tapered, with a generally crisp, polished finish and controlled curves. Capitals feel stately and spacious, with wide bowls and clean joins; round forms stay smooth and geometric-leaning. Lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey “g,” a small ear on “g,” and compact, precise terminals that keep the rhythm light and airy. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with graceful, slender diagonals and open counters.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and luxury-facing branding where elegance and contrast are desired. It also fits invitations, title pages, pull quotes, and packaging that benefits from a refined, high-fashion serif voice.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, evoking classic print refinement and contemporary fashion sensibilities. The delicate hairlines and measured spacing create a quiet sophistication that reads as premium and formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast interpretation of a classic serif for display-led typography, prioritizing sophistication, vertical emphasis, and crisp detail over robust low-size durability.
In text, the contrast creates a shimmering page color and emphasizes vertical rhythm, especially in larger sizes. The thinnest strokes and tight apertures in letters like “e,” “s,” and “a” suggest the design will be most comfortable where fine detail can be preserved (print or high-resolution display).
