This serif has sharp, finely tapered hairlines paired with fuller main strokes, creating a distinctly delicate, high-fashion rhythm. Serifs are small and clean with a subtly bracketed feel, and terminals often end in pointed or wedge-like forms that add sparkle at display sizes. Capitals are stately and measured, with round letters showing a smooth, near-vertical stress and confident, open counters. The lowercase keeps a traditional structure with a single-storey g, compact joins, and a light, airy texture across words; figures appear lining and similarly slender, with elegant curves and tight apertures.
It performs best in editorial design and display typography where its fine details can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and refined packaging. It can also suit formal invitations and identity work that needs a cultured, classic tone, while staying more at home in larger sizes than in dense, small text.
Overall it reads as polished and luxurious, with a poised, couture sensibility. The combination of crisp detailing and calm proportions gives it a formal, editorial voice that feels premium rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif with heightened elegance—prioritizing sharp contrast, graceful curves, and a polished page presence suited to premium editorial and brand applications.
In the text sample, the thinnest strokes and sharp joins become a defining feature, making the design especially striking in larger settings. Curves and diagonals stay clean and controlled, and the spacing supports a smooth, even word color without looking mechanical.
