This is a delicate, high-contrast serif with tall proportions and very thin hairline serifs. Strokes show a clear thick–thin rhythm with mostly vertical stress and crisp, sharply finished terminals. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, giving the letters a polished, classic texture, while counters stay open enough to keep the page color bright. Overall spacing and rhythm feel measured and formal, with a graceful, slightly calligraphic sharpness in diagonals and joins.
It works best for editorial design, magazine features, book titling, and display typography where its contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. It’s also well suited to invitations, branding wordmarks, and premium packaging that benefit from a classical, upscale serif presence. For longer text, it will be most comfortable when set at moderate-to-large sizes with ample spacing.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone associated with literary and fashion-adjacent typography. Its slender build and crisp contrast feel premium and ceremonial rather than casual, lending an impression of precision and restraint. The overall mood is refined and timeless, with a touch of drama from the hairline details.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion text serif look with a bright, elegant page color and a strong thick–thin cadence. It prioritizes refined detail—hairline serifs, crisp terminals, and tall proportions—to create a sophisticated, authoritative voice for display-led editorial settings.
In the sample text, the thin serifs and extreme contrast create a sparkling texture that suits larger sizes and generous leading; at smaller sizes the finest hairlines may appear fragile. The numerals share the same refined contrast and verticality, supporting a consistent, formal typographic voice across text and figures.
