A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline connectors and sharper, darker main strokes. Serifs are fine and tapered with a lightly bracketed feel, giving the letterforms a crisp, polished finish. Proportions are classic and fairly open, with rounded bowls (C, O, Q) drawn with smooth modulation and a narrow waist in letters like E and F. Lowercase shows traditional text forms with a double-storey g and a two-storey a, along with tall, slender ascenders and a notably refined, high-waisted m/n rhythm; the overall color is light and airy on the page.
Well suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and display settings where high contrast and fine detail can read cleanly. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from an elegant, fashion-forward serif voice, and can work for short-form text in spacious layouts.
The tone reads poised and luxurious, evoking contemporary editorial typography with a nod to classical book faces. Its thin strokes and precise detailing convey sophistication and restraint, making it feel premium rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif look with classical structure: traditional proportions and familiar lowercase forms paired with pronounced contrast and sharp, refined finishing. The emphasis is on elegance and clarity in display and editorial contexts rather than rugged, everyday text color.
At larger sizes the hairline serifs and strong stroke modulation become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture in headlines and pull quotes. In longer text, the sharp contrast creates a bright page and a slightly more formal cadence, with punctuation and numerals matching the same fine, dressy construction.
