A delicate, high-contrast roman with hairline serifs and crisp terminals, combining sharp, straight stems with smoothly rounded bowls. The capitals feel spacious and poised, with narrow joinery and thin crossbars that emphasize vertical rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled, and the overall drawing keeps a consistent, polished finish across letters and numerals, with slightly varied character widths that create a lively texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other display settings where its fine hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It can add a high-end tone to branding, invitations, and packaging, especially at larger sizes or in well-controlled print and screen environments.
The tone is refined and cultured, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its thin details and dramatic contrast give it a luxurious, slightly formal presence that reads as premium and composed.
Likely designed to deliver an upscale editorial voice with classical proportions and a modern, sharpened finish. The emphasis on contrast, thin serifs, and airy spacing suggests a focus on elegance and visual drama rather than rugged everyday text utility.
Distinctive features include the very slender horizontals (notably in E/F/T), the elegant tail and diagonal stroke on Q, and narrow, tapered joins in letters like K, R, and y. Numerals echo the same contrast and finesse, with open, airy counters and fine hairline connections that keep the page color light.
