A delicate hairline serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, unbracketed serifs. Stems are needle-thin and vertical, while curves swell subtly, creating a polished, high-end rhythm. The uppercase feels tall and statuesque with generous counters; the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with long ascenders and descenders that add a graceful vertical sweep. Numerals are similarly fine and poised, with an old-style feel in their proportions and a light, drawn-with-a-pen sensitivity in terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty packaging, and upscale brand identities where its fine contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial paragraphs in high-quality print or on high-resolution screens, paired with comfortable leading and ample size.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, suggesting boutique editorial design and premium branding. Its refined contrast and quiet spacing read as sophisticated and formal rather than casual or rugged.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book-and-fashion typography: tall capitals, refined hairlines, and clean serifs that project exclusivity and clarity. Its emphasis on vertical structure and delicate detailing suggests a focus on premium display and editorial use.
At text sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs become a defining feature, giving the face a luminous, airy color on the page. The italic is not shown; the visible roman relies on precision and verticality for its character.
