A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The serifs are small and refined, with a lightly bracketed feel, while vertical strokes remain slender and crisp. Capitals are tall and stately with generous interior space; round letters show smooth, near-perfect bowls and a controlled, even rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a measured, bookish structure with clear two-storey a and g, compact joins, and slightly calligraphic tapers on strokes and diagonals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, staying light and elegant with fine finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant subheads—where its high contrast and refined serifs can read as intentional and premium. It also fits luxury branding, cosmetics, jewelry, and upscale packaging, as well as book covers and cultural materials that benefit from a modern-classic serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and poised, leaning toward luxury and contemporary editorial sophistication rather than rustic or utilitarian. Its thin hairlines and sculpted curves create a quiet sense of exclusivity and calm, with a distinctly fashion-forward, gallery-catalog atmosphere.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: maintaining traditional proportions and familiar letterforms while emphasizing hairline refinement, high contrast, and a clean, curated rhythm for editorial and brand-focused display work.
The design relies on very fine hairlines in crossbars and serifs, which gives it a shimmering texture at display sizes and a more fragile presence as sizes shrink. Spacing appears open and orderly, supporting a smooth reading rhythm in the sample text while preserving a light, airy color.
