A delicate serif with sharp contrast between thin hairlines and fuller stems, producing a crisp, luminous page color. Serifs are fine and tapered with a lightly bracketed feel, and many joins resolve into pointed, calligraphic terminals. Capitals are tall and poised with generous apertures and smooth, elliptical bowls; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are clean and knife-like. The lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with narrow hairlines, small counters, and a two-storey “a,” while figures appear lining and similarly high-contrast, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where elegance and hierarchy are important—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book or journal titling. It can also support premium brand identities (logos, packaging, invitations) when set with ample size and spacing to preserve its hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, suggesting luxury and quiet authority rather than warmth or ruggedness. Its refined contrast and sharp finishing details evoke fashion publishing, high-end branding, and literary editorial design.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with maximum refinement: tall proportions, crisp contrast, and carefully sharpened terminals that read sophisticated in display and editorial settings. Its consistent, disciplined construction suggests an intention to balance traditional book-serif familiarity with a more contemporary, glamorous sheen.
The design’s thin strokes and pointed details create a refined sparkle at larger sizes, while the very fine serifs and hairlines can visually soften or break up as sizes get small or on lower-resolution output. The italic is not shown, so the displayed voice reads distinctly formal and composed throughout.
