A delicate serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical axis. The design uses hairline serifs and sharp, tapered terminals, with smooth, open bowls and a noticeably crisp baseline rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and narrow-to-moderate in stance, while the lowercase keeps a measured x-height and long, fine ascenders/descenders that add air and sophistication. Numerals and punctuation match the same high-contrast logic, with thin joins and clean curves that read best at larger sizes.
Well-suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, branding, and luxury packaging where its contrast can shine. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with ample leading, but the fine hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, leaning toward fashion and literary editorial aesthetics. Its whisper-thin details and poised forms communicate sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a traditional text serif: prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a luminous page color. Its controlled proportions and sharp detailing suggest a focus on refined editorial and brand-led applications.
The most prominent visual characteristic is the fragility of the hairlines in combination with strong main stems, creating a sparkling texture in text. Curves are carefully tensioned and terminals often end in pointed or gently flared finishes, reinforcing a crisp, modern-classic feel.
