This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. Capitals are tall and slender with crisp, minimally bracketed serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Curves (C, G, O, Q) show taut, controlled bowls with thin entry/exit strokes, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read sharp and clean. The lowercase keeps a compact, contemporary rhythm with narrow forms, small apertures, and thin, precise cross-strokes; ascenders are prominent and the overall color is light but punchy due to the contrast. Numerals follow the same elegant construction, pairing sturdy stems with hairline terminals for a polished, editorial look.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, cosmetics and fragrance packaging, and high-end invitations where a refined, dramatic serif is desired.
The tone is refined and high-fashion, with a cool, upscale sophistication. Its razor-thin details and tall proportions create a dramatic, premium voice that feels at home in glossy contexts rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, couture-inspired serif voice through extreme contrast, sharp finishing, and tall, narrow proportions—optimized for impactful display typography with a sophisticated editorial character.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs give a striking, couture-like sparkle, while tighter spacing and thin joins suggest it will benefit from generous size and breathing room to preserve clarity. The overall silhouette is consistently narrow and vertical, producing a sleek, elongated texture in lines of text.
