This serif typeface features hairline-thin stems paired with sharp, high-contrast modulation and finely tapered serifs. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with a poised rhythm created by narrow counters and precise curves. Terminals are clean and pointed rather than blunt, and the overall drawing feels crisp and controlled, producing a light, sparkling texture in text. Numerals follow the same delicate contrast, with a particularly calligraphic, sweeping ‘2’ and ‘7’ that add a touch of personality while staying consistent with the system.
It suits magazine and fashion layouts, where its delicate contrast can be showcased at display sizes. The refined construction also works well for luxury branding, invitations, and other applications where a sophisticated, premium tone is desired and printing/display conditions can support very fine strokes.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, projecting a sense of luxury and restraint. Its fine hairlines and sculpted details give it a fashion-forward, editorial character that feels formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic text serif: minimal weight, strong contrast, and meticulous detailing aimed at producing an elegant, elevated voice for editorial and brand-led typography.
In longer settings, the thin horizontals and tight interior spaces create an airy, high-end page color that favors careful typesetting. The italic is not shown, but the roman design already carries a subtly calligraphic flavor in select curves and numerals.
