A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins, built around tapered stems that subtly flare into sharp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms are open and clean with smooth, near-elliptical rounds and a measured, classical rhythm. Serifs read as small, pointed and lightly bracketed rather than blocky, and many strokes finish with fine beaks and tapered ends that keep the texture bright and spacious at display sizes. Numerals and capitals feel statuesque, with ample counters and a controlled, editorial spacing.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display typography where its hairline details can remain intact. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, editorial layouts, and elegant packaging, especially when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, conveying luxury and poise rather than warmth or ruggedness. Its fine detailing and crisp contrast suggest a contemporary fashion sensibility with a quiet classical backbone.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, contemporary serif voice by combining strong contrast with tapered, flared stroke endings and sharp terminals. It prioritizes visual refinement and a light, upscale texture that stands out in larger sizes and carefully spaced settings.
Diagonal strokes (notably in A, V, W, X, and y) are drawn with very thin hairlines and sharp finishing points, while verticals carry the visual weight, creating a sparkling, high-contrast page color. Curves remain smooth and restrained, and the design avoids heavy ornament, relying instead on precision and flare for character.
