A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. The overall rhythm is vertical and composed, with tall capitals, generous ascenders, and fine hairline joins that give the forms a light, etched look. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in O/C/G), while terminals often finish in sharp points or small wedges. Lowercase shapes stay fairly traditional, with two-storey a and g, a narrow, clean e, and a compact, open r; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with thin interior strokes and sharper entry/exit points.
Best suited to editorial titles, magazine typography, brand marks, and other display settings where fine contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages and pull quotes at comfortable sizes with sufficient print/screen quality, but its hairline details favor larger settings and high-resolution reproduction.
The tone is poised and luxurious, reading as fashion-forward and literary at the same time. Its high refinement and restrained classicism suggest formality and craft, while the extreme delicacy lends an airy, premium feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end take on classic serif typography, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and polished silhouettes for premium editorial and brand-facing applications.
In the text sample, the hairline strokes and sharp serifs create a bright page color with noticeable sparkle, especially around joins and in diagonals like V/W/Y. The ampersand and capitals show a more display-oriented finesse, while the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure.
