A high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, engraved feel while keeping counters open and clean. Proportions are expansive with generous letterspacing and a calm, upright stance; round forms (O, Q, o, e) feel broad and smooth, while verticals dominate in letters like H, N, and n. Lowercase details show a double-storey g, a compact, straight-shouldered r, a slender f, and a beaked, slightly calligraphic s; numerals are similarly refined with thin cross-strokes and small finishing curls on several figures.
Best suited to large sizes where the thin strokes and serif detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cover lines, and elegant invitations. For longer passages, it will work most comfortably in high-quality print or higher-resolution screens where its fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and formal, projecting a luxury, magazine-ready sensibility. Its delicate hairlines and sculpted serifs suggest sophistication and tradition, with a poised, restrained presence rather than warmth or informality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book-and-magazine typography: dramatic modulation, crisp finishing, and wide, stately proportions aimed at premium editorial and branding contexts.
The design’s extreme stroke modulation and fine serifs create a bright page color and a distinctly delicate texture in text. Curved characters and figures include subtle flourish-like terminals (notably in Q and some numerals), adding personality without becoming ornamental.
