A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, giving joins a smooth transition into stems while keeping the overall silhouette sharp. Curves show a strong vertical stress and clean, open counters, and the rhythm is even and measured with relatively narrow joins and controlled apertures. Numerals and capitals feel carefully proportioned for display, with hairline horizontals and diagonals that read as elegant rather than sturdy.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where elegance and contrast are desired. It also fits invitations, lookbooks, and premium packaging, especially when set with generous size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone—poised and cultured, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward sensibility. Its hairline details and stately proportions suggest sophistication and ceremony more than everyday utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic text serifs, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a luxurious page presence. It aims to perform as a refined display-to-text option for sophisticated editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the sparkle from strong contrast and fine serifs becomes a defining feature, creating a bright typographic color at larger sizes. The lowercase shows traditional construction with a two-storey “g” and restrained, classic shapes, while the overall system maintains a consistent, refined cadence across letters and figures.
