A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The design leans on tall, columnar proportions and a vertical rhythm, with compact lowercase bodies and relatively prominent ascenders that emphasize a crisp baseline-to-capline contrast. Serifs are fine and clean rather than bracketed, and curves resolve into pointed joins and tapered ends, giving many letters a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. Overall spacing is open and the forms feel intentionally spare, letting the thin strokes and counters carry the texture.
Best suited to display applications where its high-contrast detailing can stay crisp: headlines, magazine mastheads, poster typography, and cover titling. It can also work for branding or packaging that wants an elevated, classic mood, especially in larger sizes with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is poised and formal, with a fashion/editorial elegance that reads as cultured and slightly theatrical. Its stark contrast and needle-like details create a sense of luxury and precision, while the idiosyncratic serif constructions add a distinctive, boutique personality rather than a purely bookish neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif model with heightened contrast and slender proportions, prioritizing elegance and impact over neutrality. Its distinctive, finely drawn serifs and tapered endings suggest a focus on stylish, memorable typography for prominent text rather than long-form reading.
In the sample text, the font produces a bright, sparkling line due to the thin horizontals and narrow joins; this gives strong character at display sizes but makes fine details more prominent. The figures follow the same contrast-driven logic and feel stylistically integrated with the caps, supporting use in titling that includes dates or numbering.
