A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered joins against fuller vertical stems. Serifs are fine and precise, often wedge-like, giving terminals a crisp, cut-paper finish. Round letters show smooth, elongated curves with a slightly expansive feel, while diagonals stay clean and controlled. The lowercase features a delicate, calligraphic modulation, with a compact, two-storey “g” and a distinctive “a” whose bowl-and-stem construction reads elegant and slightly stylized. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with slender spines and open counters that keep the overall color light and airy.
Well suited to editorial design, magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where large sizes can showcase the hairlines and sculpted serifs. It can also work for short pull quotes, titling, and event materials when generous spacing and high contrast reproduction are available.
The tone is polished and high-end, conveying sophistication and restraint. Its sharp contrast and hairline details suggest runway/editorial elegance rather than everyday utilitarian text, creating a sense of ceremony and premium finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book/modern serif aesthetics: elegant proportions, crisp detailing, and a light page color optimized for display-led typography.
In the text sample, spacing and rhythm feel measured and calm, with long, graceful curves and prominent vertical stress that produce a refined texture. The thinnest strokes are notably delicate, so the face reads best when printing, rendering, and background contrast are favorable.
