A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered hairlines. The serifs are small and bracketed, giving joins a smooth, slightly calligraphic transition rather than a blunt, mechanical feel. Overall proportions are compact with tall capitals and a measured x-height, and curves are clean and finely drawn, producing a crisp page color. Numerals and uppercase follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender horizontals and carefully controlled terminals.
Best suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and display settings where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially for fashion, beauty, or cultural institutions, when used at sizes large enough to preserve the hairlines.
The tone is polished and high-end, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its fine strokes and poised rhythm suggest formality and restraint, with a quiet sense of luxury and tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast text serifs: graceful, space-efficient letterforms with careful serif shaping and a smooth reading rhythm. It emphasizes refinement and visual precision, prioritizing elegance over rugged, small-size robustness.
In longer text, the light hairlines and tight internal spaces create a bright, airy texture that rewards generous sizes and comfortable line spacing. The character of the design comes through in the sharp, tapered terminals and the consistent, refined stroke contrast across both roman and italic-free (upright) forms.
