A delicate serif with extreme stroke contrast and a predominantly vertical stress. Thick stems are slim and polished, while hairlines are very fine, producing a bright, airy texture in text. Serifs are sharp and minimal with a clean, unbracketed feel, and terminals tend toward crisp, tapered finishes. Proportions are tall and graceful with generous spacing; capitals read stately and open, and the lowercase maintains a poised rhythm with slim joins and subtle curvature.
Best suited for magazine-style typography, luxury branding, and refined headlines where the hairlines can be preserved. It also works for pull quotes, invitations, and short passages at comfortable sizes with ample leading, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a cool, high-fashion polish. Its sharp details and airy contrast convey sophistication and formality, leaning toward contemporary editorial elegance rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif voice—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and typographic prestige. Its forms aim to create a premium, editorial look with confident capitals and a light, sophisticated color in text.
The letterforms favor clarity through restraint: curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and details stay fine and precise. In paragraphs, the high contrast creates a shimmering texture that rewards larger sizes and careful line spacing.
