A very slender serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a crisp, calligraphic modulation. Stems frequently taper into subtly flared endings rather than heavy bracketed serifs, creating a light, etched rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in C, O, and Q), while joins and terminals stay sharp and controlled; the Q shows a long, sweeping tail that reinforces the formal tone. Lowercase forms are open and finely drawn, with a two-storey a, a compact, looped g, and thin cross-strokes that keep counters clear at display sizes. Numerals follow the same hairline logic with refined curves and minimal mass, emphasizing a polished, fashion-like silhouette.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle editorials, luxury branding, and headline typography where its thin strokes and high contrast can be reproduced cleanly. It will also work for refined invitations, packaging, and pull quotes, especially when set at larger sizes or with careful production to preserve hairline details.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with an airy sophistication that reads as premium and editorial. Its delicate contrast and sweeping curves convey formality and restraint, leaning toward contemporary elegance rather than rustic or bookish warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice: minimal stroke weight, strong contrast, and flared, calligraphic terminals that add refinement without heaviness. It prioritizes visual sophistication and distinctive display character over rugged text durability.
Letterspacing in the sample feels comfortable for display settings, helping the thin horizontals and hairline details remain legible. The design favors graceful diagonals and long, clean arcs (seen in V/W/Y and the Q tail), which can become a focal detail in headlines and large typography.
