A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. The serifs are fine and tapered, often subtly bracketed into the stems, creating a clean, polished rhythm rather than a rugged texture. Capitals are stately and proportioned with generous curves and narrow joins; rounds show a clear vertical stress and crisp terminals. Lowercase forms are compact and controlled, with a two-storey a and g, a slender, high-contrast e, and a fine, single-storey italic-like ear on g; figures follow the same refined contrast with thin crossbars and elegant curves.
Well suited to magazine typography, book or journal titling, and other editorial headline work where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It can also support luxury branding, packaging, and invitations when used at sizes that preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, evoking high-end editorial and fashion contexts. Its sharp contrast and airy hairlines feel formal and composed, with a classic, cultivated sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif construction, prioritizing elegance, clarity of stress, and crisp finishing for sophisticated display and editorial use.
At text sizes the very fine horizontals and terminals create a bright page color with a distinctly calligraphic stress, while at larger sizes the hairline details and tapered serifs become a primary visual feature. The numerals and capitals read particularly well for display settings, where the contrast and curve quality can be appreciated.
