A very delicate, high-contrast roman with smooth, round construction and a clean, sans-like reduction of detailing. Strokes are hairline-thin in places with clear thick–thin modulation, especially in curves and diagonals, creating an airy color on the page. Capitals are tall and restrained with wide, circular bowls (C, O, Q) and sharp, clean joins; the Q uses a subtle, extended tail that sweeps outward. Lowercase forms are compact and readable with open apertures and a two-storey g that balances a round upper bowl with a larger lower loop; the a is single-storey with a simple, rounded body. Terminals are crisp and mostly unadorned, with smooth curves and consistent rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display sizes where its hairline details and contrast can remain crisp—editorial headlines, magazine titling, brand wordmarks, and premium packaging. It can work for short text passages at larger sizes, but the very thin strokes are likely to feel most confident in titles, pull quotes, and airy layouts.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a quiet confidence that feels contemporary rather than ornamental. Its thin stroke presence and polished curves suggest sophistication and restraint, lending a fashion and culture-magazine sensibility without becoming flashy.
The font appears designed to deliver a minimalist, modern refinement: circular, well-balanced forms paired with dramatic thin–thick modulation to create a luxurious, high-end impression while staying clean and contemporary.
The design relies on generous curves and negative space, so spacing and line rhythm read as light and refined in text. Numerals are similarly delicate and open, matching the letterforms’ circular geometry and maintaining a consistent, understated texture.
