A delicate serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical construction. Serifs are fine and sharp, with crisp, tapered terminals that give strokes a pointed, calligraphic finish rather than blunt cuts. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and the overall rhythm feels light on the page with narrow hairlines connecting heavier stems. Capitals are stately and high-waisted, while the lowercase maintains a readable, moderate x-height with graceful ascenders and descenders.
This design is well suited to magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and other luxury contexts where a refined, high-contrast serif is expected. It excels in headlines, pull quotes, and prominent display text, and can work for short-form reading when set with comfortable size and line spacing to protect the delicate details.
The font projects polish and luxury, with a cool, composed tone typical of high-end editorial typography. Its airy hairlines and disciplined symmetry create a sense of sophistication and restraint, leaning more toward couture and culture than casual or utilitarian messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished serif voice through sharp hairline serifs, vertical emphasis, and dramatic contrast—aiming for elegance and authority in display-led typography while still remaining orderly in paragraph samples.
The numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast and thin serif treatment, producing a cohesive, dressy texture in continuous text. In the sample setting, the hairlines become a defining feature, so spacing and background contrast play an important role in preserving the font’s crispness.
