A delicate modern serif with hairline-thin horizontals and pronounced contrast against slender vertical stems. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a mostly straight, disciplined posture and minimal bracketing, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and carefully tensioned, with narrow joins and small apertures that keep counters clean at display sizes. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a and g, tall ascenders, and a restrained, even rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book titling, and brand identities where a refined, premium voice is desired. It will also work well in posters and packaging that rely on elegant typography and generous spacing to showcase the thin hairlines and crisp serifs.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining classic serif poise with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. It reads as calm and authoritative rather than playful, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-like serif voice: graceful, precise, and attention-grabbing in display settings, while retaining familiar text-serif structures for articulate reading in larger text sizes.
Large, open round forms (like O and Q) and long, tapering terminals emphasize elegance, while the numerals echo the same refined contrast and thin hairlines. The letterforms feel optimized for impact at larger sizes, where the fine details and stroke modulation remain visible.
