A delicate, high‑contrast serif with hairline serifs and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes move from very thin connecting lines to fuller verticals, creating a crisp, polished rhythm and a distinctly vertical stress in rounded forms. Proportions feel classically rooted yet clean: capitals are stately with controlled curves, while the lowercase shows compact, well-shaped bowls and tight joins. Numerals follow the same refined logic, pairing slender diagonals and thin curves with confident vertical stems for a consistent color at text and display sizes.
Well suited to magazine and editorial layouts, book covers and titling, and luxury brand identities where a refined, high-end impression is needed. It can also serve effectively for posters and formal print pieces such as invitations when set with generous spacing and attention to reproduction quality.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a poised, premium voice that reads as literary and fashion-forward rather than casual. Its sharp, glassy contrast and restrained detailing convey formality and precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a conventional text serif by emphasizing sharp contrast, precise finishing, and an elegant vertical rhythm. It prioritizes sophistication and visual refinement, lending prominence to headings while still maintaining a coherent, bookish texture in longer passages.
Round letters show carefully narrowed thins at the top and bottom, and many terminals resolve into fine points that heighten the sense of crispness. In running text, the contrast and narrow hairlines produce a light, airy texture with pronounced sparkle, especially around diagonals and curved joins.
