This typeface features a crisp, high-contrast serif construction with extremely fine hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with a clear vertical stress in rounded forms, while stems read as confident, straight strokes. Proportions feel tall and poised, with generous sidebearings that create an airy rhythm in text. The lowercase shows delicate joins and small, precise terminals; the numerals echo the same refined contrast with slender connecting strokes and sculpted bowls.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and luxury-oriented identity work where contrast and delicacy are assets. It also fits invitations, packaging, and pull quotes where generous sizing and spacing can preserve the hairline detail. For text, it performs most convincingly in larger sizes and high-quality output where thin strokes remain intact.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, projecting a couture-like sophistication. Its thin detailing and controlled geometry suggest formality and restraint rather than warmth, giving it a premium, gallery-ready presence. In longer settings it feels calm and composed, with a slightly dramatic sparkle from the hairline contrast.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern classic impression: a sharply tailored, high-fashion serif with clean edges and a bright typographic color. The emphasis seems to be on elegance and prestige, using dramatic stroke modulation and minimal serif bracketing to create a sleek, contemporary refinement.
The design relies on fine details—especially in crossbars, serifs, and thin curves—so the character comes through most strongly when given space and clean reproduction. The uppercase has a stately, display-forward stance, while the lowercase adds a lighter, more lyrical cadence that keeps paragraphs from feeling overly rigid.
