A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that create a crisp, luminous rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, often feeling lightly bracketed into the stems, with long, clean verticals and controlled curves. Capitals are tall and poised with generous counters, while the lowercase keeps a measured x-height and slender, calligraphic-feeling terminals; overall spacing reads open and breathable in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin connecting strokes and elegant, sweeping curves.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and high-end packaging where high contrast can be showcased. It also fits invitations and formal stationery when set with ample size and comfortable leading, and can work for short text passages in print-like layouts where stroke delicacy remains intact.
The tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward classic magazine sophistication rather than warmth or rusticity. Its extreme delicacy and contrast give it a couture, gallery-like presence that feels formal, stylish, and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast book-and-fashion serif: refined proportions, disciplined structure, and striking contrast aimed at premium, style-led typography.
At larger sizes the refined details—needle-thin cross-strokes, tapered joins, and sharp terminals—become a defining feature, producing a distinctly “engraved” or fashion-editorial impression. The design’s light hairlines suggest careful use on supportive backgrounds and printing conditions to preserve the finest strokes.
