A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and tapered terminals that give strokes a finely drawn, engraved quality. Serifs are small and sharp with pronounced bracketing in places, and many letters show subtle calligraphic modulation—thin entry strokes, swelling stems, and knife-like exits. Capitals feel tall and poised with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm and a relatively traditional structure (two-storey a and g), creating a calm text color despite the extreme thins. Figures appear lining and similarly contrasty, with elegant curves and narrow joins that favor display sizes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine headlines, decks, pull quotes, and refined book or journal covers where high contrast can be showcased. It also fits luxury brand wordmarks and formal materials like invitations or programs, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining formality with a light, fashion-forward delicacy. It reads as cultured and premium, with a quiet drama that comes from the contrast rather than flamboyant shapes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: graceful proportions, crisp detailing, and elevated contrast for a sophisticated, premium look. Its lightness and sharp terminals prioritize elegance and visual finesse over rugged, utilitarian text settings.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize smooth, near-elliptical bowls and very fine hairlines, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) sharpen into thin, crisp terminals. In the sample text, the thin horizontals and joins suggest best results where rendering can preserve hairlines cleanly.
