A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, hairline serifs. The capitals are tall and poised, with clean, straight stems and controlled curves that keep counters open and outlines crisp. Lowercase forms are compact and carefully balanced, with a two-storey “g”, a slender “f”, and a narrow, high-contrast “s”; joins and terminals stay precise rather than calligraphic. Numerals echo the same formal structure, mixing straight-sided figures with fine, bracketless finishing strokes for a polished, display-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, lookbooks, and brand marks where elegance and contrast are the primary goals. It also fits invitations, packaging, and short premium copy, especially when set with ample spacing and supportive leading to preserve the fine detail.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, leaning toward classic luxury and contemporary editorial styling. Its extreme finesse and controlled geometry convey sophistication, restraint, and a sense of premium craft.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxury serif voice: high contrast, precise finishing, and a composed structure that prioritizes sophistication in display settings.
At larger sizes the thin details read cleanly and give a sparkling texture, while the sharp serifs and fine horizontals create a distinctly crisp silhouette. The sample text shows a consistent cadence across mixed case, with generous internal whitespace and a calm, formal presence.
