This typeface combines very thin hairlines with stronger verticals, producing a crisp, polished contrast and a distinctly light overall color. Serifs and stroke endings are sharply tapered with a subtle flare, giving many strokes a chiseled, calligraphic finish rather than blunt brackets. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with compact apertures and a generally slender footprint; the rhythm is steady and vertical, with delicate joins and fine cross-strokes that read best when given room. The numerals share the same thin–thick logic, with elegant curves and needle-like terminals.
It performs best in editorial display roles—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and refined posters—where its contrast and fine terminals can be appreciated. It also suits luxury or beauty branding and packaging when used at larger sizes or in carefully spaced titling.
The overall tone is refined and fashion-forward, balancing classical serif sophistication with a slightly modern, razor-sharp edge. It feels premium and composed, suited to settings where delicacy and nuance communicate quality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-end serif voice with sharp precision: classical proportions and readable forms paired with tapered, flared finishing strokes that add sophistication and a contemporary edge.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and hairline details become especially prominent, lending an airy texture while asking for comfortable sizes and spacing to preserve clarity. Capitals appear stately and clean, while the lowercase maintains a restrained, bookish cadence with subtly expressive terminals.
