A very delicate serif with hairline-thin unbracketed-to-lightly bracketed finishing strokes and pronounced contrast between stems and connecting curves. The letterforms are built on tall, narrow proportions with generous internal space, giving a light, airy texture on the page. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, G, O, and e), while terminals tend toward fine, pointed or tapered endings rather than heavy slabs. The rhythm is regular and formal, with crisp joins and a clean, upright stance that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, upscale packaging, and elegant invitations where its fine contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, especially in print or high-resolution environments where the hairline details remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and couture-leaning, conveying sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or rusticity. Its high-contrast, razor-fine details read as premium and editorial, with a poised, gallery-like calm suited to luxury and formal contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: minimal, sharp, and refined, prioritizing elegant contrast and a clean silhouette for premium editorial and brand applications.
At larger sizes the thin horizontals and hairline serifs become a defining feature, creating a shimmering, high-end texture. The numerals echo the same refinement, with slender strokes and graceful curves that align visually with the uppercase set.
