A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Serifs are fine and sharp, with an overall vertical stress and a clean, polished rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, while the lowercase is compact and tidy, with narrow joins and finely tapered strokes; the numerals and punctuation follow the same slender, high-contrast construction for a consistently light color on the page.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant branding where a refined, high-contrast serif can set an upscale tone. It can also work for short passages in print-oriented editorial layouts, especially when paired with generous sizing and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a quiet confidence associated with fashion and literary publishing. Its slender strokes and precise detailing create an elevated, curated feel—more about sophistication than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic book serif: minimal visual weight, crisp finishing, and strong contrast to create a premium, editorial voice. It prioritizes sophistication and typographic polish over utilitarian robustness.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, sparkling texture and emphasize word shapes through strong verticals. The design favors finesse and clarity at display and larger text settings, where the fine details and contrast read as intentional rather than fragile.
