A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms are tall and compact, with a vertical axis and clean, controlled curves that keep counters open despite the light strokes. Serifs read as fine wedges and tapered terminals, giving a sharp, precise finish; joins and diagonals stay slender and elegant, while round letters show smooth, even bowls with minimal bracketing. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside text, maintaining a consistent rhythm and spacing.
Well-suited to magazine typography, display headlines, and elegant subheads where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal invitations, and can work for book covers or pull quotes when set with enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial sheen. Its fine details and dramatic contrast suggest sophistication and ceremony rather than casual everyday use, evoking fashion spreads, literature, and gallery-style presentation.
The design intent appears to prioritize elegance and modern refinement through high contrast, clean vertical construction, and sharply tapered serifs. It aims for a contemporary editorial voice that feels classic in structure while emphasizing lightness and precision.
At larger sizes the thin horizontals and terminals create a striking sparkle on the line, especially in capitals and in letters with long diagonals. In paragraph settings the texture stays airy and bright, with emphasis coming from contrast rather than heavy color, so it benefits from generous sizes and careful reproduction conditions.
