A delicate modern serif with extremely thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are tall and condensed, with long vertical stems, tight sidebearings, and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are minimal and crisp, often reading as fine wedges or hairline slabs, and the overall stress is strongly vertical. Curves are clean and controlled, with high, narrow counters and a polished, poster-like rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, mastheads, beauty and fashion branding, premium packaging, and elegant invitations. It can work for short text passages when set large with ample leading, but it is most compelling when used for titles, pull quotes, and other high-impact typographic moments.
The font conveys a high-end, editorial sensibility—cool, poised, and precise. Its airy hairlines and tall proportions feel sophisticated and fashion-forward, suggesting luxury branding and contemporary magazine typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxe take on a classic contrasted serif: maximizing elegance through tall proportions, vertical stress, and razor-thin detailing for dramatic display use.
At larger sizes the contrast and thin horizontals create a striking, refined sparkle, while in continuous text the extreme delicacy can read as fragile if the size or printing conditions are not generous. Numerals share the same tall, slender construction, supporting a consistent typographic color across mixed content.
