A tall, hairline serif with dramatic thick–thin contrast and a crisp, precise drawing style. Strokes resolve into needle-thin horizontals and diagonals, with small, sharp serifs and subtly flared terminals that keep the overall color very light. Proportions skew narrow with generous vertical emphasis; rounds are clean and controlled, and spacing feels open, helping counters stay readable despite the fine strokes. Numerals and capitals share the same disciplined, high-contrast construction, giving the set a consistent, polished rhythm.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion lookbooks, luxury branding, and elegant packaging where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired. It also works for formal invitations or short-form titling, especially when set with ample tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The font conveys a poised, luxurious tone associated with high-end editorial typography. Its light, sculpted forms feel calm and sophisticated, leaning more toward display refinement than utilitarian text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, couture-leaning serif aesthetic: tall proportions, razor-thin detailing, and a controlled rhythm that reads as premium and carefully crafted in display settings.
In continuous setting, the thin hairlines and tight widths create an airy texture that rewards larger sizes and high-quality reproduction. The italic is not shown; the sample suggests a consistent, formal voice suited to carefully spaced, well-leaded layouts.
