A delicate serif with very thin hairline strokes and gentle contrast, built around tall proportions and open counters. Serifs are small and sharply tapered, and terminals often end in fine points, giving the outlines a precise, high-fashion finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic feel in letters like S and a single‑storey a and g, while capitals maintain a stately, drawn-with-a-pen clarity. Overall spacing feels measured and calm, producing a light, vertical rhythm in text.
Well suited to magazine headlines, lookbooks, and editorial layouts where an elegant, high-end voice is needed. It also fits branding systems, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a minimal, premium serif presence, especially at display sizes or in generously set text.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, evoking luxury editorials and formal invitations rather than utilitarian text. Its spareness and fine detailing read as poised, quiet, and premium, with a classic sensibility that feels contemporary through its lightness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-leaning interpretation of a conventional text serif: maintaining familiar structures while pushing toward extreme refinement through hairline strokes, sharp serifs, and tall, airy proportions.
The design leans on long ascenders and clean joins, and the numerals mirror the letterforms with slender, graceful curves. In paragraphs it creates a bright page color and a refined texture, but the very fine strokes suggest it will look best when given enough size and clean reproduction.
