A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline horizontals that give the letters a light, airy color on the page. Vertical stems often broaden subtly into flared terminals, while joins and curves stay crisp and controlled. Capitals are tall and spacious with sharp apexes (notably in A and V) and clean, tapered finishing details; rounds like C, O, and Q are wide and graceful with thin top strokes and slightly heavier lower curves. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a, open apertures, and slender ascenders; the overall rhythm is smooth and vertical, with a polished, contemporary finish.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and poster titles where its fine contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pulls or section openers, especially with generous spacing and comfortable line height.
The tone is sophisticated and cultured, leaning toward luxury and editorial refinement rather than warmth or ruggedness. Its high-contrast sparkle and fine detailing suggest formality and taste, suitable for premium presentation where elegance is the priority.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif proportions with a modern, high-fashion delicacy, using flared terminals and extreme contrast to create a crisp, upscale voice. The goal seems to be strong visual elegance and a distinctive headline presence rather than utilitarian text durability.
At larger sizes the thin crossbars and hairlines read very cleanly, while the flared endings add a subtle calligraphic lift without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with a particularly light, elegant 1 and softly rounded 8 and 9 that keep the set cohesive.
