A delicate modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing details. The structure is predominantly vertical with narrow proportions and generous internal counters, producing a bright page color at text sizes. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, and terminals often resolve into tapered, calligraphic flicks that add a subtle sense of motion without breaking the overall upright stance. Curves are smooth and controlled, with crisp transitions at joins; round letters show a clean, drawn-to-a-point contrast pattern, while numerals maintain the same refined, high-contrast rhythm.
Well suited to editorial design, display typography, and premium brand systems where elegance and contrast are assets. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text in print or high-resolution digital contexts where fine serifs and hairlines can remain crisp.
The tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication. Its sharp refinement and airy contrast convey luxury and restraint, with just enough calligraphic nuance to feel expressive rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: narrow, vertically oriented forms with razor-fine finishing that emphasize sophistication and hierarchy. It balances classical proportions with modern contrast and sharpened details to create a distinctive, boutique editorial character.
In the text sample, the spacing and rhythm read calm and even, with tall capitals that lend a formal, editorial hierarchy. The lowercase shows a graceful, slightly calligraphic flavor (notably in the ear and finials), which helps longer lines feel lively while staying disciplined.
