A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and tapered strokes that thicken subtly on verticals. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel rather than a blunt, slabbed look. Curves are smooth and open, with round forms (C, O, G, 0) drawn with generous internal space and clean transitions into terminals. The lowercase shows a relatively restrained x-height and long, graceful extenders; the “a” is single-storey, and the “g” is double-storey with a distinctive looped lower bowl, reinforcing a classic book-serif structure executed at a very light weight.
Best suited to editorial headlines, mastheads, and fashion or luxury branding where its fine contrast can be shown at comfortable sizes. It can work for short-form text and pull quotes in print-like contexts, especially with generous leading and careful reproduction. The style also fits upscale packaging and formal invitations where a light, precise serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and rarefied, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its airy hairlines and precise detailing communicate formality and finesse, with a subtle old-world, print-inspired character. The rhythm feels calm and measured, prioritizing elegance over robustness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice in an exceptionally delicate, high-contrast execution, emphasizing refinement, vertical poise, and crisp finishing details. It aims to provide an elegant display-to-text palette for sophisticated layouts where lightness and polish are central.
In text, the thin hairlines and tight detailing can visually soften at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the refined contrast and sculpted serifs. Numerals appear similarly delicate and classical in proportion, harmonizing with the letterforms’ slender texture.
