A delicate, high-contrast serif with very thin hairlines and sharper, weighty main strokes. Serifs are fine and often flared with subtle bracketing, giving a crisp, calligraphic edge without becoming decorative. Proportions are generously wide, with open counters and a relaxed horizontal rhythm; round letters read broad and stable, while diagonals stay razor-thin. Lowercase shows long ascenders and descenders and a generally even, upright stance; numerals echo the same contrast and fine finishing.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and premium branding where its contrast and wide stance can breathe. It can work for short paragraphs in high-quality production settings, but it is especially effective when given generous tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a light, airy presence that feels luxurious rather than robust. Its sharp contrast and spacious width suggest a fashion/editorial sensibility and a classical, bookish refinement when used at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on traditional serif forms: refined contrast, crisp finishing, and wide, open shapes that create an elegant, contemporary texture while retaining classic proportions.
In continuous text the extreme thin strokes and fine serifs create a shimmering texture, especially around joins and terminals. The design’s width and open apertures help legibility, but the light hairlines visually demand sufficient size, good printing, or high-resolution screens to keep details intact.
