A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, calligraphic rhythm. Stems are slim and often widen subtly into flared stroke endings, while serifs remain fine and sharp, giving the outlines a clean, etched feel. Proportions are tall and compact, with ample counters and a steady baseline that keeps the overall texture even despite the strong contrast. The italics are not shown; the roman exhibits smooth curves and carefully tapered joins that read best at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its fine hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It fits fashion/editorial layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding systems that want an elegant serif voice without heavy weight.
The tone is poised and cultivated, balancing classical bookishness with a contemporary, fashion-forward clarity. Its slender strokes and high contrast create a sense of luxury and restraint, making the text feel curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated display serif with a classical foundation, using flared endings and refined contrast to create an upscale, editorial presence while maintaining consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
In the sample text, the combination of thin hairlines and narrow forms produces a bright page color and prominent vertical rhythm; spacing appears measured and slightly generous for the style, helping maintain legibility. The numerals and capitals echo the same flared, tapered logic, keeping the set cohesive.
