A delicate serif with extreme stroke contrast and hairline horizontals, paired with fuller verticals that subtly flare at stroke endings. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, giving terminals a chiseled, high-fashion finish rather than blunt brackets. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow apertures and elegant joins that keep the overall texture bright and airy. Capitals feel statuesque and formal, while the lowercase maintains a controlled rhythm with relatively short ascenders and descenders and pronounced thin–thick modulation; figures follow the same refined, high-contrast construction.
This typeface excels in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display roles where its high contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It’s a strong choice for fashion and beauty editorial, premium branding systems, boutique packaging, and identity work that benefits from a refined, dramatic serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting an upscale, editorial sensibility. Its razor-thin details and poised proportions evoke runway, gallery, and prestige print aesthetics, with a cool, controlled sophistication rather than warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif with flared stroke endings that heighten elegance and visual drama. Its construction prioritizes crisp detail, stylish tension in curves, and a luminous page color for premium, display-forward typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines read crisp and luxurious, while in smaller text the very thin strokes may visually recede, making it best suited to display-led settings. The numerals and punctuation share the same incisive contrast, supporting a consistent, elegant typographic voice across headings and short passages.
