A delicate serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Stems are needle-thin with crisp transitions into sharper, heavier verticals, creating a distinctly hairline texture. Serifs are minimal and sharply finished, and curves are drawn with generous, open bowls that keep counters clear despite the light weight. Proportions are tall and condensed overall, with long ascenders/descenders and a poised, high-waisted rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and brand marks where its fine hairlines and strong contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It pairs well with spacious layouts in magazines, beauty and fashion materials, and upscale packaging or invitations where an elegant, high-end voice is desired.
The tone is polished and editorial, combining restraint with a touch of drama typical of high-contrast display serifs. Its lightness reads as luxurious and airy, suggesting couture, galleries, and premium branding rather than utilitarian text work.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-leaning take on the classical high-contrast serif: tall, precise, and minimal in detailing, prioritizing visual sophistication and impact over robustness at small sizes.
The numerals and round letters (O/C/G/0/8/9) emphasize clean, sculptural curves, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain sharp and formal. In the text sample, the thin joins and fine terminals produce a shimmering line texture that rewards generous size and spacing.
