A delicate serif design built around extremely thin hairlines and pronounced contrast, with crisp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm feels light and open, with generous counters and a clean vertical stance. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a relatively modest x-height, while capitals feel stately and carefully proportioned; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with graceful bowls and slender joins.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other large-size settings where its contrast and hairline detailing can read cleanly. It also fits premium branding and packaging, as well as formal stationery where a light, elegant serif is desired.
The tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward high-end editorial typography. Its refined contrast and airy color suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with a classic foundation—prioritizing finesse, sharpness, and visual sophistication for editorial and brand-forward typography.
Distinctive details like the elegant Q tail and the sharp, needle-like joins in letters such as V/W add a couture, display-minded character while remaining recognizably text-serif in structure. The very light hairlines create a bright page color that can feel especially delicate at smaller sizes or in busy layouts.
