A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply defined, tapered serifs. Vertical strokes dominate, while curves transition into fine terminals, producing a precise, polished rhythm. The capitals feel tall and poised with generous interior counters, and the lowercase maintains an open, restrained construction that stays clear at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp, high-contrast logic, with fine joins and carefully controlled curves.
Best suited to editorial settings such as magazine titles, section heads, and pull quotes, as well as luxury branding and packaging that benefits from sharp contrast and finesse. It also works well for book covers and high-end posters where large sizes let the hairlines and tapered serifs remain clear. For extended small-size reading, it will typically perform more confidently when printed or rendered large enough to preserve the finest strokes.
The overall tone is luxurious and formal, with a cool, poised sophistication. Its extreme finesse and crisp detailing evoke fashion and cultural publishing, where contrast and negative space create drama rather than weight. The texture reads quiet and premium, prioritizing refinement over robustness.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic text serif: elegant proportions, dramatic contrast, and meticulously sharpened terminals. Its intent is to provide a premium voice for display-led typography while still retaining the familiar structure of conventional serif forms.
The design relies on thin connecting strokes and narrow hairline serifs, giving it a shimmering, airy color in text. Italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The letterforms favor clean, modernized proportions while retaining classical serif cues, and the sample text shows consistent spacing and a smooth baseline rhythm at large sizes.
