A delicate serif with extreme stroke modulation, pairing hairline horizontals and thin joins with assertive vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, giving terminals a crisp, engraved feel, while round forms keep a smooth, controlled curve. Proportions lean toward tall capitals and compact, neatly bounded lowercase, with a consistent upright stance and a clean, even rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand identities where its high-contrast structure can be appreciated. It also fits luxury packaging and invitation-style applications when printed or rendered large enough to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking fashion and editorial typography where elegance and restraint are central. Its razor-thin details and poised curves read as sophisticated and formal rather than casual or rustic.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, editorial interpretation of classic high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a refined typographic voice for display-forward composition.
The design relies on very fine features—especially in crossbars, joins, and serifs—so the texture can feel airy and high-end at display sizes, while small sizes may demand generous spacing and careful reproduction. Numerals and capitals carry the same high-contrast, sharp-serif logic, maintaining a cohesive, premium look in mixed text.
