A delicate, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and confidently weighted vertical stems. Serifs are fine and crisp with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a precise, carved finish rather than a chunky or slabby feel. Capitals show classical proportions with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and generous interior counters, while round letters like O and Q read smooth and open. Lowercase maintains a measured rhythm: narrow joins, clean bowls, and a graceful, lightly tapered stroke modulation that keeps texture light and refined in text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book or essay titling, where the high contrast can add authority and sheen. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and invitation-style materials that benefit from a classic, formal serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a quiet sense of luxury and tradition. Its airy contrast and slender details convey sophistication and poise, suggesting editorial seriousness rather than casual friendliness.
The font appears designed to deliver a modernized classical serif impression: traditional proportions and familiar letterforms paired with very fine hairlines and crisp finishing details. The intent seems to be an elegant reading and display face that looks luxurious and composed in well-spaced typography.
The design emphasizes thin connecting strokes and precise terminals, which produce a bright page color and a distinctly ‘fashion/editorial’ sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and appear suited to settings where elegance matters more than rugged robustness.
