This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. Stems are tall and clean, while serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, producing crisp entry/exit points and a polished silhouette. Curved letters (C, O, Q) show smooth, disciplined modulation, and the overall rhythm feels airy due to the light color and generous counters. Uppercase proportions read stately and formal, while the lowercase keeps a poised, slightly calligraphic tone with slender ascenders and refined joins.
It performs best in display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format posters where its hairline details can be appreciated. For longer passages, it suits pull quotes and short editorial blocks at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, evoking couture, art magazines, and classic high-end packaging. Its sharp, glittering contrast and controlled forms feel formal and sophisticated rather than casual or rustic, with a distinctly editorial kind of drama.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice: dramatic contrast, pristine curves, and sharply finished serifs that create a refined, premium impression in print-like compositions.
The design leans on fine detail: hairline crossbars, needle-like serifs, and tight internal apertures in places, which increases the sense of precision. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and look best when given space, matching the uppercase’s stately presence.
