A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairlines, producing an overall airy, polished texture. Serifs are small and sharp with subtle flare, and joins are crisp, giving the letterforms a clean, engraved-like finish. Proportions feel balanced and slightly condensed in rhythm, with generous counters and smooth, open curves; the round capitals and numerals are especially thin on the horizontals and tight at the terminals. Lowercase details such as the two-storey a and g, slender f and t, and gently tapered strokes reinforce a classic, high-contrast text style.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine headlines, and refined book or chapter titling where high-contrast details can be appreciated. It can support premium branding, packaging, and formal invitations when paired with ample whitespace and thoughtful layout. For longer reading, it will perform best at comfortable text sizes where the hairlines remain visible.
The font conveys refinement and formality, with a quiet, editorial tone rather than a bold display attitude. Its lightness and high contrast read as luxurious and composed, suited to sophisticated, literary settings. Overall, it feels contemporary in cleanliness while referencing traditional book and fashion typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a graceful, high-contrast reading and display voice that emphasizes finesse and typographic sophistication. Its restrained serifs and clean construction suggest a focus on elegant setting for titles and polished editorial typography.
At larger sizes the hairline strokes and sharp serifs look particularly crisp, while at smaller sizes the extreme contrast may require careful sizing and spacing to maintain clarity. Numerals appear elegant and sculpted, with distinctive thin crossbars and smooth, continuous curves.
