A delicate serif with extreme stroke modulation: razor-thin hairlines contrast with firm vertical stems, producing a bright, airy texture. Serifs are sharp and minimal, with a largely unbracketed feel and clean terminals that keep counters open despite the thin joins. Round forms (C, O, G) show a composed vertical stress and smooth curves, while diagonals in V, W, X and the pointed A apex stay crisp and controlled. Lowercase proportions read balanced and literary, with a single-storey g and fine, precise details in dots and cross strokes.
Best suited to display sizes such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and high-end brand lockups where its hairline details can be appreciated. It also works well for elegant invitations and packaging, especially in print contexts with sufficient resolution and contrast.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting sophistication and restraint rather than warmth. Its hairline finesse and poised rhythm evoke luxury publishing and fashion branding, where elegance and clarity are valued over ruggedness.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a distinctly refined, couture-leaning presence. Its intention is to create an elevated typographic signature through disciplined proportions, sharp serifs, and luminous hairlines.
The design maintains an even, calm rhythm across the alphabet, with notably fine crossbars and joins that give it a lightweight, luminous color on the page. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender curves and decisive verticals that harmonize with the capitals.
