A delicate serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced thick–thin contrast. The forms are drawn with a cool, controlled rhythm: straight stems stay slender while curves swell subtly, producing a polished, glossy texture in text. Serifs are small and tapered rather than bracket-heavy, and many joins resolve into fine points that emphasize precision. Proportions lean slightly condensed in capitals with generous interior space, while lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and long, fine ascenders and descenders; numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style-leaning grace with varied widths.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book-cover titling, where the high contrast can provide elegance and hierarchy. It also fits premium branding applications (beauty, jewelry, hospitality) and formal print pieces like invitations or programs, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a quiet luxury that feels at home in fashion and literary contexts. Its high-contrast sparkle and thin finishing strokes convey sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or rusticity.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: crisp, economical hairlines paired with confident main strokes to create a sophisticated, fashion-forward reading voice. The consistent tapering and clean terminals suggest an intention to balance traditional serif cues with a sleek, modern finish.
In the text sample, spacing and stroke economy create a light, shimmering page color, with especially bright highlights in round letters and in punctuation. The design rewards larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered serifs read crisply, while dense settings will emphasize its refined, display-leaning character.
