A delicate serif with hairline horizontals and noticeably stronger verticals, producing a sharp, high-contrast texture on the page. Proportions are tall and condensed, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, airy rhythm. Serifs are fine and clean with a modern, minimally bracketed feel, and curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, O, and S), while joins and terminals remain crisp. The lowercase keeps a readable, traditional structure, with a modest x-height and slender bowls; numerals and capitals share the same poised, elongated stance.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine display, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant headlines where its contrast and tall proportions can shine. It can also work for refined invitations or logotypes, especially when set with generous leading and comfortable tracking to preserve its crisp, airy character.
The overall tone is sophisticated and restrained, leaning toward a luxury/editorial sensibility. Its thin detailing and narrow stance convey formality and finesse rather than warmth or casualness, suggesting a fashion-leaning, high-end voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic text serif: slim, vertical, and sharply contrasted for a polished, premium impression. Its consistent refinement across capitals, lowercase, and figures points to an emphasis on elegance and typographic poise in display and editorial settings.
At text sizes the strong vertical emphasis creates an even, column-like color, while the hairline crossbars and fine serifs contribute a bright, open page feel. The design’s tight width and long extenders add drama in headlines, but the delicacy of details suggests careful sizing and spacing choices in use.
