A delicate serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered stroke endings that read as subtly flared rather than blunt. Capitals are tall and airy, with sharp triangular apexes (notably in A and V/W forms) and fine, hairline serifs that stay controlled and consistent. Lowercase keeps a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact, smoothly modeled bowl rhythm, and a relatively restrained x-height that emphasizes verticality. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and slender joins that maintain a clean, formal texture in text.
Best suited to display and large text—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium brand systems, and elegant invitation or program typography. It can work for short-to-medium editorial passages where a refined, high-contrast texture is desired, especially in print or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a cultivated, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing suggest sophistication and restraint, suitable for high-end or culturally formal messaging rather than casual use.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a polished page color. Its flared finishing and hairline detailing aim to create a premium, couture-like impression in titles and brand-facing typography.
In continuous text the rhythm is calm but sparkling, with bright white space created by thin hairlines and narrow letterforms. The design leans on long vertical stems and fine terminals, giving headings a stately presence and making spacing and size important for best clarity.
