A delicate, high‑contrast serif with very fine hairlines and crisp, tapered serifs. Curves show a calligraphic stress, with thin joins and slightly flared terminals that keep the forms lively without becoming ornate. Capitals are narrow and poised, with sharp apexes in A/V/W and generous interior space in round letters like O and C. The lowercase is compact and readable with a traditional two‑storey g and a light, neat rhythm; numerals follow the same slender, refined construction.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine typography where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It can also work for refined branding applications (beauty, jewelry, hospitality) and formal printed pieces, especially at comfortable sizes with good reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking fashion and literary editorial typography. Its light touch and pronounced contrast feel sophisticated and formal, with a quiet, contemporary sharpness rather than heavy historic ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high‑fashion interpretation of a conventional text serif: maintaining familiar proportions and letterforms while emphasizing elegance through extreme stroke contrast and precise, tapered detailing.
Round letters maintain clean, open counters, and the spacing reads as intentionally airy, helping the very thin strokes avoid clogging. Several glyphs show subtle terminal flicks that add personality while keeping the texture even in continuous text.
