This serif typeface features extremely thin hairlines paired with stronger vertical stems, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a clean, modern finish and minimal bracketing. Letterforms are tall and compact, with small apertures and tight internal spaces that reinforce a sleek, editorial texture. The lowercase shows a double-storey “g” and a delicate, compact “e,” while figures are similarly high-contrast with notably thin diagonals and curves.
Well suited to magazine headlines, display typography, and high-end branding where contrast and delicacy can be showcased. It can also work for pull quotes, title pages, and elegant packaging when set at comfortable display sizes and reproduced with sufficient resolution for the thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-oriented elegance. Its lightness and sharp detailing convey a sense of luxury and precision, while the narrow proportions keep the color restrained and poised.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice that feels premium and composed. Its compact proportions and razor-thin detailing suggest a focus on stylish display settings and editorial typography rather than utilitarian, small-size text.
At larger sizes the hairline details and sharp terminals read as intentionally refined, while at smaller sizes the very thin strokes may appear fragile and require careful sizing, spacing, and production conditions. The numerals and caps maintain the same disciplined contrast and vertical emphasis, supporting a consistent, formal voice.
