A delicate serif with extremely thin hairlines and sharp, high-contrast transitions between stems and connecting strokes. Proportions are tall and compact, with narrow set widths and a vertical, controlled rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed, giving terminals a crisp, etched finish, while curves are clean and tightly drawn. The lowercase shows a modest x-height and long ascenders/descenders, contributing to a light, airy texture; figures follow the same refined contrast and slender build.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty packaging, premium branding, and formal invitations where its high-contrast finesse can be appreciated. It also works for short pull quotes or titles when generous spacing and size help preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a boutique, runway-editorial feel. Its restrained, upright posture and razor-thin detailing communicate sophistication and formality rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to capture a modernized classic serif voice: tall, formal, and highly refined, prioritizing elegance and dramatic stroke contrast for upscale editorial and branding contexts.
At larger sizes the hairline details read as intentional and jewel-like, creating strong sparkle and contrast on the page. In continuous text the narrow proportions and fine joins produce a clean, quiet color that emphasizes verticality and precision.
