A delicate high-contrast serif with prominent vertical stress and extremely fine hairline strokes against sturdy main stems. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, engraved look, while curves are smooth and controlled. Proportions are tall and stately in capitals with ample interior space; the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish rhythm with a moderate x-height and narrow joins. Overall spacing feels open and poised, emphasizing lightness and precision rather than density.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and large-format editorial settings where its contrast can shine. It also fits high-end branding systems (logos, packaging, cosmetics, jewelry) and formal materials like invitations and certificates, where an elegant, classical voice is desired.
The face reads as polished and formal, with a distinctly fashion-and-editorial sensibility. Its thin hairlines and clean, decisive serifs create a sense of luxury and restraint, suited to premium and ceremonial messaging rather than casual everyday tone.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classical contrasted serifs, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a bright typographic color in display use.
The design relies on fine details—especially in crossbars, diagonals, and serif tips—so it visually rewards larger sizes where hairlines remain crisp. Numerals and punctuation share the same refined contrast and contribute to an overall sophisticated texture in running text.
