A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clean vertical axis. Hairline serifs and terminals are sharp and minimally bracketed, while main stems remain slender, giving the letterforms a crisp, airy texture. Capitals are tall and finely drawn with ample internal space; rounds like C, O, and G feel spacious and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, X) are taut with needle-like joins. The lowercase maintains a calm, even rhythm with open counters and understated finishing strokes, producing a polished page color despite the extreme contrast.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and elegant titling. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and adequate print or screen resolution.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a contemporary editorial sophistication. Its razor-thin details and controlled geometry read as premium and cultivated, with a subtle dramatic edge suited to high-end presentation.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end interpretation of the classical high-contrast serif: dramatic modulation, precise finishing, and an airy texture optimized for refined editorial and brand-led typography.
The numerals follow the same refined contrast and look especially graceful in curved forms like 3, 6, 8, and 9. In text settings the hairlines remain prominent, creating an intentionally fragile, high-fashion sparkle that benefits from generous spacing and clean reproduction.
