A delicate modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing. Stems are largely straight and vertical, contrasted by sculpted bowls and tapered joins that create a clean, high-definition rhythm. Serifs are small and sharp, often lightly bracketed, with pointed wedge-like terminals on several lowercase forms. Overall proportions feel generously spaced and slightly expanded, giving the text a bright, airy texture while keeping letterforms disciplined and upright.
Well suited to magazine layouts, cultured editorial work, and book typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It also fits display use such as headlines, pull quotes, and premium brand applications that can leverage its crisp contrast and spacious rhythm.
The font projects a polished, editorial sophistication—quietly luxurious rather than decorative. Its high-contrast elegance and precise detailing suggest fashion, culture, and premium publishing, with a composed, confident tone that reads as contemporary-classic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif with strong contrast and precise finishing, balancing traditional roman structure with a cleaner, more fashion-forward surface. It aims for elegance and clarity in editorial settings, emphasizing sharp detailing and a luminous page color.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and sharp serifs create a sparkling surface that benefits from comfortable sizes and good leading. Numerals appear similarly refined, with clear contrast and classic shapes that match the text color and formality.
