A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dominant vertical stems, producing a crisp, glassy texture. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves show a controlled, vertical-stress logic in round letters like O, C, and G. Proportions feel open and slightly expansive, with generous counters and a calm, upright stance. Lowercase forms are streamlined and elegant; details such as the single-storey g, delicate ear on g, and the long, thin cross-strokes (e.g., E/F/T) reinforce the refined, precision-cut construction. Numerals echo the same contrast and delicacy, with thin horizontals and clean, tapered joins.
Well suited to display typography such as magazine titles, fashion lookbooks, perfume and cosmetics packaging, and premium branding systems where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can also work for short editorial blocks or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the thin details.
The overall tone is polished and formal, evoking fashion-editorial and gallery-grade sophistication. Its extreme contrast and hairline details create a sense of drama and exclusivity, while the upright rhythm keeps it composed and traditional rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classical high-contrast serifs, emphasizing verticality, sharp finishing, and an airy, premium texture. Its forms prioritize elegance and visual impact over utilitarian neutrality, aiming for sophisticated display use.
In paragraph and headline samples, the font reads with a bright, high-end sparkle: thick strokes anchor the line while hairlines add an ornamental sheen. The delicate horizontals and fine serifs suggest it will look most confident when given room to breathe and sufficient size, where its hairline detailing remains clear.
