A delicate, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and emphatic verticals. The letterforms are wide and airy, with generous internal counters and a calm, upright stance. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, and the overall rhythm feels clean and poised, with occasional calligraphic flicks in terminals and subtle stroke modulation that reads as vertical-stress. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and long, fine ascenders/descenders that keep the texture light on the page.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where its hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It works especially well in fashion, beauty, and premium packaging contexts, and can serve for short editorial passages when set with ample size and leading.
The tone is polished and high-end, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication. Its extreme delicacy and contrast add drama and exclusivity, producing a runway-magazine feel that is more about atmosphere than utilitarian neutrality.
Designed to evoke classic high-contrast serif elegance in a modern, airy proportion set, prioritizing refinement and visual drama. The intent appears focused on display impact and upscale editorial tone rather than rugged versatility at small sizes or on low-resolution reproduction.
At larger sizes the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs become a defining detail, while in denser text they create a shimmering, fragile color. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and wide proportions, reinforcing a display-forward personality even in running copy.
