A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes are predominantly hairline, with verticals carrying the most weight and horizontals dropping to extremely fine lines, creating a bright, airy page color. Serifs are minimal and precise—often wedge-like or finely bracketed—and the overall construction is upright with tall proportions and generous counters. Curves are smooth and controlled, with an emphasis on clean joins; diagonals in letters like A, V, W, and X are slender and crisp, while round forms (O, Q) feel open and lightly drawn. The numerals follow the same refined contrast, with thin entry/exit strokes and graceful curves.
Best suited to display and larger text where its hairline details can reproduce cleanly—magazine headlines, pull quotes, cultural and fashion branding, and elegant packaging. It can also work for refined invitations and titling, particularly in spacious layouts where the high contrast can breathe.
The font conveys a poised, premium tone associated with fashion and cultural publishing—quietly luxurious, polished, and formal without feeling heavy. Its extreme delicacy reads as sophisticated and high-end, with a modern, editorial restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: maximizing elegance and visual sophistication through hairline detailing, crisp terminals, and tall, composed proportions.
In text settings the thin horizontals and fine serifs create a shimmering rhythm, especially at larger sizes where the contrast becomes a key feature. The lowercase shows a restrained, bookish feel with clean, upright forms and subtle calligraphic influence in strokes like the ear and tails (e.g., in g, y, Q).
