A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms are built on relatively narrow proportions with tall capitals, crisp bracketed serifs, and sharp, tapered terminals that often end in fine points. Curves show a clear vertical stress, and the overall rhythm is driven by slim stems contrasted against swelling bowls and razor-thin cross strokes. Spacing appears even and controlled, with a clean, upright stance that keeps paragraphs orderly despite the dramatic contrast.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial typography where its contrast and sharp detailing can read clearly. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal printed materials that benefit from a refined serif voice; for longer passages it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes with adequate leading.
The tone is polished and high-end, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its fine details and poised proportions feel formal and curated, leaning more toward luxury and display refinement than everyday utility.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif that delivers a premium, contemporary editorial look while retaining classic serif structure and disciplined spacing.
In text settings the hairline strokes and sharp serifs create a bright, sparkling texture, especially in round letters and numerals where the contrast is most visible. The figures follow the same refined construction, with slender forms and delicate finishing curves that align with the letterforms’ overall precision.
