A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong thick–thin transitions, built around clear vertical stress and crisp, tapered terminals. Capitals feel statuesque and slightly high-waisted, while the lowercase shows a large x-height with compact ascenders, supporting an open, contemporary rhythm in text. Serifs are fine and sharp rather than bracketed, and curves are drawn with controlled, calligraphic modulation; round letters stay smooth while joins and diagonals remain clean and precise. Numerals and punctuation match the same pared-back, elegant stroke economy, producing a light, airy overall color.
Best suited to magazine headlines, decks, pull quotes, and brand identities where contrast and finesse are an asset. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or large on-screen settings, where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs remain clear.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a cool, editorial poise. Its hairline detailing and pronounced contrast suggest sophistication and restraint, leaning toward fashion and culture contexts rather than utilitarian work.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and typographic sparkle for sophisticated display and editorial typography.
The thin horizontals and fragile connecting strokes create a striking sparkle at display sizes, while the sturdy verticals help keep forms stable. Spacing appears measured and generous, contributing to a calm, premium texture in the sample paragraph.
