A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, crisp main stems, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a clean, cut finish. Round characters show a pronounced thick–thin modulation and a vertical stress, while joins and crossbars stay slim and precise. Proportions feel fairly classical with a moderate x-height and generous ascenders/descenders, and the overall color on the page is bright and airy due to the thin connecting strokes.
Best suited to large sizes where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant event materials. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers where a crisp, cultivated tone is desired.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone—poised, formal, and fashion-forward. Its razor-thin details and stately rhythm suggest sophistication and restraint, with a distinctly editorial character.
The design intention appears to be a modernized, high-contrast display serif that prioritizes elegance and visual drama. Its fine serifs, vertical stress, and bright texture are tuned for sophisticated editorial and brand settings rather than utilitarian, low-resolution environments.
In the sample text, the hairlines and small features (like crossbars and inner counters) read as especially delicate, creating dramatic sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrasted logic, pairing sturdy verticals with fine curves and finishing strokes for a cohesive, refined texture.
