A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs. The letterforms are tall and relatively condensed, with smooth, rounded bowls set against crisp terminals and finely tapered joins. Serifs are small and sharp rather than bracketed or slabby, and many strokes finish in needle-like points that emphasize verticality. Lowercase forms keep a calm, conventional structure with open counters and restrained curves, while capitals show a stately rhythm with generous internal space.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and refined invitations. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or large on-screen text where its hairlines and sharp serifs have sufficient resolution and contrast.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, projecting a high-end editorial sensibility. Its fine contrast and precise detailing feel polished and formal, with a quiet dramatic edge that suits sophisticated, image-led design.
This design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast book serif: tall proportions, precise hairlines, and crisp serifs that create an upscale, editorial voice while remaining structurally familiar and readable in controlled conditions.
Spacing appears even and controlled, helping long lines keep a smooth rhythm despite the very fine details. Numerals match the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and minimal, sharp finishing strokes that read best when given enough size and print-quality reproduction.
