A razor-thin modern serif with extreme stroke contrast and pronounced vertical stress. Stems read as dark, straight pillars while the connecting strokes and serifs taper to hairline thickness, creating a crisp, high-definition texture. Serifs are small and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins resolve into pointed wedges rather than soft curves. Capitals feel tall and formal, while the lowercase maintains a measured, readable x-height; overall spacing and rhythm emphasize clean, vertical cadence with delicate internal counters.
Best suited to display typography where the hairline details can be appreciated—magazine and website headlines, luxury and beauty brand identities, premium packaging, and elegant event collateral. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck text when set large with comfortable tracking and adequate reproduction quality.
The typeface conveys a polished, high-end tone—cool, poised, and intentionally dramatic. Its hairline detailing and sculpted transitions suggest runway elegance and premium editorial styling rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
Designed to deliver a contemporary, couture-like serif voice with striking contrast and precise hairline finishing. The emphasis on vertical structure and sharp, minimally bracketed serifs prioritizes sophistication and visual drama in display-led contexts.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation produces a shimmering pattern as hairlines nearly disappear at small sizes, while larger settings emphasize the refined carving and sharp terminals. Numerals mirror the same contrast and slender joins, keeping the overall color consistent across mixed typography.
