A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, with a lightly bracketed, calligraphic feel that keeps joins smooth while preserving crisp edges. Capitals are poised and stately with generous internal space; rounds (C, O, Q) are near-oval and cleanly drawn, and diagonals (V, W, X) taper to needle-like points. The lowercase shows restrained, oldstyle-leaning proportions with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and long, elegant extenders; overall spacing reads open and calm, supporting a bright, high-end texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and cultured headlines where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined, high-fashion voice. In longer passages it can work for premium book or catalog text when set with comfortable size and spacing to protect the hairline details.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, conveying luxury and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness. Its thin hairlines and high contrast create a quiet drama suited to premium editorial and cultural contexts, with an overall impression of finesse and formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a composed reading rhythm. It aims to feel timeless and premium while remaining clean and legible through open counters and disciplined proportions.
Numerals appear similarly refined, with slender strokes and classic proportions that match the text rhythm. The design favors clarity through open counters and controlled curves, but its extremely fine details suggest it will look best when printing or rendering conditions preserve hairlines.
