A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals. The design relies on slender stems, sharp tapered terminals, and finely cut, bracketless-looking serifs that read as crisp and precise rather than soft. Curves are drawn with a smooth, controlled oval logic, while joins and apexes stay clean and pointed; overall spacing feels measured, with a light texture and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same restrained, high-contrast construction, producing a polished, display-leaning color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine-style layouts, and other large-size applications where its hairline details can stay intact. It can work well for luxury packaging, beauty/fashion identity systems, and formal stationery, especially when paired with ample tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is poised and luxurious, evoking fashion publishing and high-end branding. Its extreme delicacy and crisp contrast communicate sophistication and formality, with an airy, modern “couture” feel rather than a warm, bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif voice with contemporary precision: a light, refined display face optimized for elegance and visual impact rather than dense, small-size setting.
In the text sample, the thin strokes and fine serifs create a shimmering texture that benefits from generous size and breathing room. The italic is not shown; the presented forms emphasize a controlled, formal roman voice with minimal ornament beyond refined terminals and contrast.
