A refined display serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing crisp, sculpted letterforms. Serifs are small and sharp, with subtly flared, calligraphic stroke endings that taper to fine points. The uppercase sits tall and poised with generous internal whitespace and narrow joins, while the lowercase shows a slightly more fluid, writing-influenced construction in letters like a, g, and e. Curves are smoothly drawn and tightly controlled, and overall spacing reads airy and polished, emphasizing contrast and silhouette over texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other large-size applications where its thin hairlines can remain intact. It works well for fashion branding, luxury packaging, invitations, and poster titles where a sophisticated, high-contrast serif is desired, and it can add polish to pull quotes and section openers in editorial layouts.
The tone is luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a distinctly premium feel. Its sharp terminals and delicate hairlines add drama and sophistication, lending an upscale, cultured voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a couture-like elegance, combining disciplined geometry with subtle calligraphic flare. Its emphasis on sharp terminals, slender joins, and dramatic modulation suggests a focus on impact and refinement in display settings.
The figures follow the same contrast-heavy logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that visually align with the caps. The Q’s long, sweeping tail and the slender diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Y contribute to a crisp, high-fashion rhythm that benefits from ample size and clean reproduction.
