A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered serifs that feel lightly bracketed. The design leans on elegant, calligraphic stress, with narrow joins and generous open counters that keep the texture airy. Capitals are poised and formal, while the lowercase shows a smooth rhythm with slender stems, compact terminals, and a distinctly graceful italic-like influence in the curves despite an upright stance. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with thin crossbars and subtle, finishing flicks on select forms.
Well-suited to magazine and book titling, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where refined contrast is a feature. It can also support luxury branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a classic, high-end voice, especially when given ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, communicating sophistication and restraint. Its crisp contrast and fine detailing suggest a fashion-forward, premium feel, while the traditional serif construction keeps it rooted in classic typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: clean, precise, and luxurious, with enough traditional structure to remain familiar while emphasizing elegance in the thinnest strokes and tapered serifs.
In the text sample the spacing reads even and composed at display sizes, with a light page color and noticeable sparkle from the thin horizontals. The letterforms favor elegance over robustness, so very small sizes or low-resolution settings may diminish the finest strokes.
