A delicate modern serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and fine hairline serifs. The design favors vertical, calligraphic stress and crisp terminals, with a steady baseline rhythm and carefully drawn curves. Capitals are tall and stately with narrow joins and sharp apexes, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and use slender entry strokes and tapered finishing strokes. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and airy, with open counters and thin connecting strokes that emphasize a polished, editorial texture.
Best suited to display and larger text where the hairlines can remain crisp—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, and refined brand identities. It also fits formal stationery and invitations where an elegant, high-contrast serif is desired.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, projecting sophistication and a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its strong contrast and sleek detailing feel formal and cultured, with a subtle dramatic flair suited to premium branding and elegant typography.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic-but-modern reading of a high-contrast serif: graceful in silhouette, precise in detailing, and optimized for sophisticated display typography that signals premium taste.
The hairline detailing is especially prominent in diagonals and in interior joins, giving the face a bright, sparkling color at display sizes. Curved letters (like C, G, S, and the round lowercase) show smooth, controlled transitions into thin terminals, reinforcing a precise, contemporary finish.
