A sharply contrasted serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairline serifs. Thick stems and bowls sit next to razor-thin crossbars and connections, creating a glittery, high-definition rhythm across words. Serifs are delicate and mostly unbracketed, with crisp, needle-like entry/exit strokes and tapered joins. Proportions are slightly condensed in some capitals, while round letters (O, Q) are broad and smooth; overall spacing reads carefully balanced for display use, with a normal x-height and clear, open counters.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles, but extended small-size text may require generous size and careful reproduction to preserve the fine details.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion tone with a dramatic, luxe presence. Its bright contrast and precise finishing feel formal and curated, leaning more toward runway/editorial sophistication than casual readability.
The design appears aimed at delivering classic, high-contrast elegance with a contemporary crispness—prioritizing impact, sophistication, and editorial authority in display settings.
In the samples, thin horizontals and hairlines become defining features, especially in letters like E, F, T, and the diagonals of W and X. Numerals share the same contrast and refined detailing, with elegant curves and sharp transitions that maintain a consistent, upscale texture across mixed text.
