A delicate serif with pronounced contrast between hairline joins and thicker verticals, giving letters a crisp, airy rhythm. Stems subtly flare into the terminals and serif endings rather than resolving into blunt slabs, while curves are smooth and tightly controlled. Proportions feel compact and vertical, with sharp apexes in A/V/W and fine, tapering diagonals. Lowercase forms keep a traditional skeleton with a gently modulated two-storey g and a small, neat e, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, refined construction.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and hairline detail can remain clear. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, upscale packaging, and formal invitations where an elegant, classical serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and polished, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its thin hairlines and crisp detailing read as formal and cultured, with a quiet dramatic edge suited to high-end presentation.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion take on a classic serif through extreme contrast, flared stroke endings, and carefully tapered terminals—prioritizing sophistication and visual drama in display settings.
The face relies on fine strokes and tight internal counters, so it visually rewards generous point sizes and comfortable leading. In the samples, the thin joins and tapered terminals create a shimmering texture that feels more display-oriented than utilitarian.
