A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and fuller vertical stems, creating a crisp, luminous texture on the page. Serifs are fine and sharply bracketed-to-unbracketed in feel, reading as precise finishing strokes rather than heavy terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round bowls and a clean, vertical stress; joins stay taut, and counters remain open despite the delicate weight. Capitals are tall and poised, while lowercase forms keep a measured rhythm with narrow apertures and distinctly tapered strokes in letters like a, e, and s.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, book covers, and title treatments where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also serve upscale branding and invitation work, especially at larger sizes where the thin serifs and hairlines can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a fashion/editorial polish and a distinctly formal, literary presence. Its thin details and bright contrast feel sophisticated and ceremonial, lending text a quiet authority without appearing rustic or casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with emphasis on contrast, precision, and graceful proportions. Its construction prioritizes elegance and a polished reading rhythm for display and carefully set text.
The design’s light hairlines and sharp details make spacing and line rhythm feel prominent, especially in all-caps settings and around diagonals (V, W, X, Y). Numerals follow the same refined construction, with slender curves and delicate terminals that match the text color of the lowercase.
