This serif presents extremely fine hairlines paired with thicker vertical stems, creating a crisp, high-contrast texture. Serifs are sharp and tapered with subtle bracketing, and many joins feel lightly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly condensed feel and generous internal counters that keep the forms open despite the delicate strokes. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains a consistent, poised rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and sophisticated branding where large sizes highlight the contrast and sharp serif detail. It can work for short passages in high-quality print, but will be most at home in headlines, pull quotes, titling, and elegant event materials where its fine strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a fashion-forward, editorial sheen. Its thin strokes and pointed detailing convey sophistication and restraint, leaning toward luxurious and formal rather than casual or rugged.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, refined text-serif voice with pronounced contrast and a light, premium visual texture. Its narrow proportions and crisp detailing suggest a focus on elegant composition and high-end presentation rather than utilitarian, small-size robustness.
Capitals have a dignified presence with clean, sculpted curves (notably in C, G, and O) and fine terminals. Lowercase shows a refined, bookish character—double-storey forms and slender ascenders/descenders create a light, floating line. Numerals appear similarly delicate and elegant, suited to display settings where their hairlines can be preserved.
