A delicate modern serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp hairline serifs. The letterforms show a vertical, calligraphic stress with smooth curves and carefully tapered joins, giving bowls and rounds a polished, controlled feel. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, with several terminals finishing in subtle teardrop or flicked shapes that add a slightly contemporary sharpness. Proportions are classical with moderate apertures and a measured rhythm; the overall color is light and airy, especially in text where the hairlines recede and the main stems carry the structure.
It performs best in editorial contexts such as magazine typography, book jackets, and cultural or fashion communications where elegance is a priority. The fine hairlines and contrast also suit headlines, subheads, and large-size typography for premium branding and packaging, while carefully set body text can benefit from its light, refined texture.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—stylish and editorial rather than utilitarian. Its high-contrast refinement and delicate finishing suggest sophistication, formality, and a sense of luxury appropriate for curated, high-end communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: graceful, fashion-forward, and cleanly drawn, with subtle calligraphic details that elevate display and editorial compositions.
Uppercase forms feel statuesque and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a readable, bookish cadence with distinctive, slightly calligraphic terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, reading as elegant and classic rather than technical.
