A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline details. The design favors verticality: tall ascenders and capitals, slender stems, and a generally compact set width that creates an efficient rhythm in lines of text. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a clean, chiseled feel; terminals are controlled and mostly tapered, giving counters an open, polished look. Curves show a classic vertical stress, while joins and diagonals stay taut, reinforcing an overall refined, high-fashion silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and brand-facing typography where its contrast and slim proportions can shine. It works well for fashion and beauty packaging, cultural posters, and invitation or event materials that benefit from a refined, airy serif presence.
The tone is poised and luxurious, evoking contemporary editorial typography with a touch of classic sophistication. Its thin hairlines and sculpted contrast read as premium and intentional, lending a calm, high-end voice rather than a casual or rustic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on high-contrast serif traditions—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and a polished page color for premium editorial and branding contexts.
At larger sizes the fine serifs and extreme contrast become a defining feature, emphasizing sparkle and precision. The numerals follow the same fashion-forward delicacy, and the overall spacing feels measured, supporting a smooth, upscale texture in display and headline settings.
