A delicate serif with hairline strokes and a pronounced contrast between thin horizontals and slightly fuller verticals. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, giving terminals a crisp, needle-like finish. Proportions are tall and condensed with generous ascenders and a comparatively modest x-height, creating a vertical, high-waisted rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open for the width, and the overall color stays light and luminous even in longer passages.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial settings where its fine details can remain intact—magazine headlines, pull quotes, lookbooks, and elegant brand systems. It can also work for upscale invitations and packaging when printed or rendered at sufficiently large sizes and with high contrast against the background.
The tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its thin strokes and narrow stance convey luxury, restraint, and a slightly dramatic, high-end editorial character.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward interpretation of a classic serif voice: condensed, high-contrast, and meticulously finished to produce an airy yet authoritative presence in headline and editorial typography.
The caps read with stately, engraved-like restraint, while the lowercase maintains a gently calligraphic flow, especially in rounded forms. Numerals and punctuation follow the same fine, precise construction, reinforcing a consistent, refined texture across mixed content.
