A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and thin, sharply tapered serifs supporting taller, cleaner vertical stems. Curves show a predominantly vertical stress and smooth, controlled modulation, giving rounds (C, O, Q) a crisp, polished contour. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with open counters and a calm rhythm in text; the lowercase shows a conventional build with a two-storey g and a restrained, readable texture. Numerals share the same fine-thick contrast and upright stance, presenting a light, refined presence on the page.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book or journal typography where a luminous, high-contrast texture is desirable. It also fits premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from an elegant, fashion-forward serif voice.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, evoking classic book and magazine typography with a contemporary cleanliness. Its light touch and crisp detailing suggest luxury, formality, and editorial polish rather than ruggedness or utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif feel: crisp, high-contrast forms with controlled, traditional proportions aimed at conveying refinement and authority in display and editorial contexts.
In the text sample, the thin strokes and hairline serifs create a bright page color with pronounced sparkle, especially around joins and terminals. The design relies on subtle weight transitions and careful spacing to maintain clarity at display sizes.
