A delicate, high‑contrast serif with hairline horizontals and finely tapered joins. Serifs are small and sharply finished, with subtle bracketing and pointed terminals that give strokes a crisp, drawn quality. The capitals feel stately and open, with generous curves and clean, controlled modulation; the lowercase is compact and readable, with a relatively modest x-height and narrow, elegant forms. Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing thin entry strokes with fuller curves for a polished, fashion-forward texture in text.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine titles, fashion and culture layouts, book covers, pull quotes, and premium branding. It can work for short-form text in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts where its fine hairlines and crisp serifs can be maintained.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a quiet drama from the contrast and the razor-thin detailing. It conveys a classic, literary sophistication—more gallery and magazine than utilitarian UI—suggesting taste, precision, and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic text serifs, emphasizing elegance through strong stroke modulation and carefully sharpened details. Its proportions and finishing prioritize refined page color and a luxurious presence in larger typography.
The italic influence is minimal, but many letters show calligraphic stress and tapered stroke endings that enliven large sizes. At smaller sizes, the extremely thin hairlines and small serifs may require careful use to preserve clarity, especially on lower-resolution outputs.
