A refined display serif with pronounced stroke contrast and razor-thin, sharply bracketless serifs. Vertical stems read crisp and steady, while curved strokes taper to delicate hairlines, producing a glossy, high-end rhythm. Counters are compact and clean, apertures stay controlled, and the overall construction is upright with a tailored, columnar feel. Numerals and capitals share the same polished, high-contrast logic, giving the set a consistent, editorial finish.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and fashion or beauty editorial where high contrast and fine details are an asset. It also fits luxury packaging, brand marks, and high-impact poster titles, especially when set with ample size and thoughtful leading.
The tone is luxurious and poised, leaning toward fashion and magazine typography rather than utilitarian text. Its sharp hairlines and dramatic contrast create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, with a cool, modern elegance that feels curated and premium.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice built around extreme contrast and hairline finishing. Its intent is to provide an elegant, statement-making typographic color for premium editorial and branding contexts while maintaining a classic serif foundation.
In longer sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline terminals become a key part of the character, creating a bright, sparkling texture with noticeable thick–thin modulation. The design’s precision and tight, stylish forms suggest it will reward generous sizes and careful spacing, where the delicate details can remain clear.
