A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals that often broaden subtly into small flares. Serifs are fine and bracketing is minimal, creating crisp joins and a clean, carved appearance. Curves are generously drawn with smooth, rounded bowls, while verticals stay slender and straight, giving the face an open, polished rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, with pointed apexes and thin cross-strokes; the lowercase shows compact, tidy forms with a two-storey a and a gently looping g, plus slender ascenders and descenders that add vertical elegance. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with hairline horizontals and stable, upright stance.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine display typography, and book cover titles where its high-contrast stroke pattern can read as intentional and luxurious. It can also work for invitations, branding wordmarks, and pull quotes when set with enough size and leading to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultured, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a quiet, bookish authority. Its crisp contrast and sharp finishing details suggest formality and care, reading as premium rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical serif voice: crisp, high-contrast letterforms with subtly flared finishing that feels engraved and premium. The intent appears focused on elegant display and refined typography rather than utilitarian robustness.
In text, the thin hairlines and tight inner details become a defining feature, producing a shimmering texture at larger sizes and a more delicate color as sizes drop. The design relies on clean spacing and precise stroke endings for its character, so it visually rewards ample size and comfortable line spacing.
