A delicate high-contrast serif with exceptionally thin hairlines, taut curves, and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into crisp, wedge-like terminals rather than heavy bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and narrow-shouldered, with fine horizontals and clean, sculpted joins; diagonals (V, W, X) stay sharp and tensile. Lowercase forms show a moderated x-height and a slightly calligraphic rhythm, with a two-storey “g” featuring a prominent ear, a looped “y” descender, and a compact “t” crossbar. Numerals are similarly refined and linear, with elegant curves and minimal stroke mass, reinforcing an overall light, polished texture on the page.
Best suited for display and editorial typography—magazine titles, section heads, pull quotes, and refined branding where an elegant, high-contrast voice is desired. It can work for short-form text in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings, especially when set with comfortable leading to preserve its airy texture.
The tone is poised and luxurious, balancing classical bookishness with a fashion-forward, high-end sheen. Its crisp modulation and sharp terminals create a sense of precision and formality, while the flared endings add a subtle handcrafted warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium serif expression: classical proportions and readability cues paired with pronounced contrast and flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, polished signature for editorial and brand applications.
In text, the spacing reads open and bright, with plenty of white space inside counters and between strokes, producing a sparkling rhythm at larger sizes. The thinnest strokes and pointed terminals suggest it will look best where reproduction is clean and sizes are not too small.
