A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a clean, modern finish rather than heavy bracketing, and curves transition into stems with a polished, controlled rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel tall and poised, while the lowercase shows compact, classical forms with a single-storey “g” and a restrained, editorial texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and open counters that keep the set feeling light on the page.
Best suited to large-size applications such as magazine headlines, display typography, and premium branding where contrast and fine detailing are assets. It can also work for editorial pull quotes and short passages when set with adequate size and leading to preserve its delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, projecting luxury and restraint. Its crisp contrast and minimal mass create an airy, high-end voice that reads as contemporary while still grounded in classical serif conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with an emphasis on elegance and typographic sharpness. Its lightweight construction and precise detailing suggest a focus on refined display use while maintaining familiar text-serif structures for broader versatility.
In text, the very thin strokes and sharp terminals create a sparkling, high-definition look that benefits from generous size and comfortable spacing. The design’s fine details are visually prominent, giving headlines a couture-like refinement and body text a light, refined color when not set too small.
