A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with a slightly calligraphic stress that shows in rounded forms and the angled joins of letters like V, W, and y. Proportions feel tall and elegant, with compact lowercase bodies and relatively long ascenders/descenders; counters stay open despite the fine strokes. Overall rhythm is calm and spacious, helped by generous sidebearings and a clean, controlled silhouette.
This design is well suited to editorial settings where sophistication is the priority—magazine features, book jackets, and high-end catalog typography. It also performs convincingly in large-format headlines and brand marks where its hairline details can be appreciated, particularly on high-quality print or high-resolution screens.
The font projects a refined, classical tone associated with luxury publishing and traditional book typography. Its lightness and high contrast give it a poised, fashion-forward feel, while the restrained detailing keeps it dignified rather than ornamental.
The letterforms appear intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif for contemporary editorial use, prioritizing elegance, lightness, and crisp finishing. The consistent modulation and disciplined terminals suggest a focus on premium, display-leaning typography that still retains conventional text-serif structure.
At text sizes, the thinnest hairlines and serifs read as extremely fine, especially in diagonals and curved joins, which emphasizes elegance and delicacy. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and slender, matching the uppercase in formality and finish.
