A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs that read sharp and clean. The design feels vertically oriented with narrow joins, smooth curves, and tapered terminals that keep the rhythm crisp. Uppercase forms are stately and spacious, while the lowercase shows compact, neatly bracketed details and a controlled, bookish texture in text. Numerals are similarly high-contrast, with slender stems and graceful curves that maintain a consistent, refined color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes, as well as book covers and title pages. It also fits premium branding applications—beauty, fashion, and boutique packaging—where a refined, high-contrast serif is expected. For best results, use it in display and larger text sizes where the hairline structure stays legible.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, projecting sophistication and editorial polish. Its high contrast and fine serifs give it a luxe, high-end feel that suggests tradition, taste, and careful typesetting rather than rugged practicality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading of a traditional serif voice with a distinctly modern, fashion-editorial finish. Its careful modulation and sharp serifs prioritize elegance and hierarchy, making it especially effective for prominent typographic moments.
In larger settings the hairlines and serifs become a defining feature, creating a bright, shimmering texture. In denser text, the thin strokes can visually recede, so it benefits from generous sizing and comfortable spacing where its crisp details can remain clear.
