A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that create a bright, airy texture. The design is strongly vertical in its stress and overall rhythm, with tall proportions and tight sidebearings that keep the color even and economical. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, and terminals tend toward pointed, calligraphic finishes rather than blunt cuts. The lowercase shows slender stems with modest, rounded bowls, while figures appear similarly light and refined, suited to display sizes where the contrast can breathe.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where fine contrast and narrow proportions can add elegance without occupying much width. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion collateral, invitation systems, and sophisticated packaging where a light, high-end typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, conveying a sense of luxury and restraint. Its crisp contrast and narrow cadence feel editorial and contemporary while still rooted in classical book-serifs. The lightness gives it a poised, sophisticated voice that reads as premium rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical high-contrast serif: maximizing refinement, verticality, and delicacy for impactful display typography. Its narrow rhythm and hairline detailing suggest an emphasis on sleek composition and premium editorial styling.
At smaller sizes the hairline horizontals and joins may visually recede, so the font’s character is most apparent when set with generous size and leading. The narrow build and tall capitals create a statuesque headline presence, and the punctuation and numerals maintain the same fine, high-contrast manner for a consistent typographic palette.
