A delicate display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes show a largely vertical stress, with fine connecting hairlines and slightly flared terminals that stay sharp rather than rounded. Proportions are tall and compact, producing a lean texture; counters remain open due to the thin horizontals and the restrained, controlled curves. Numerals and capitals keep a poised, formal rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a clean bookish structure with carefully tapered joins and a subtle calligraphic finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other larger-size settings where its hairline detailing can remain clear. It also works well for luxury branding, fashion and beauty packaging, and refined book-cover typography. For longer passages, it favors larger point sizes and generous leading to preserve the crisp contrast and keep the overall texture from becoming too faint.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, evoking luxury editorial typography and classic book-title refinement. Its light, airy construction reads as premium and poised, with a quiet confidence rather than overt ornament. The sharp hairlines and elegant curves lend a cultured, high-end feel suited to curated, fashion-forward contexts.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern take on classical contrasted serif principles—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and a premium editorial voice. Its restrained detailing and clean, sharp finishing suggest an intention to perform as a refined display face that communicates sophistication with minimal embellishment.
The design’s finest horizontals and serifs are extremely thin, creating a strong emphasis on contrast and a sparkling page color at larger sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the italic is not shown; the roman style presented relies on verticality and precise terminals for its character. In continuous text, spacing appears measured and even, emphasizing an orderly, formal cadence.
