A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, stronger vertical stems, and a smooth, poised rhythm. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, generally bracketed, creating crisp entry and exit points without heavy slabs. Proportions lean classical with generous counters and an airy color on the page; round letters show a pronounced vertical stress and careful curve modulation. Lowercase forms remain delicate yet structured, with compact, clean terminals and a slightly calligraphic sense of stroke logic.
Best suited to display and large text applications such as magazine headlines, editorial typography, book covers and titles, luxury or beauty branding, and formal stationery. It can also work for short, refined text passages where a light, high-contrast texture is desired and reproduction quality is high.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting sophistication and restraint rather than warmth. Its delicate contrast and crisp finishing details give it a fashion/editorial voice and a distinctly “printed on fine paper” feel. The texture reads calm and composed, suited to formal, curated typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif—optimized for elegance, sharp detail, and strong typographic hierarchy in headlines and refined settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a bright, sparkling texture at larger sizes, where the thin hairlines and tapered serifs become a defining feature. Curved glyphs and diagonals look carefully balanced to keep the very fine strokes from feeling brittle, while capitals carry a stately, display-oriented presence.
