This typeface is a delicate, tightly proportioned serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, vertical stance. Serifs read as fine hairlines with sharp, tapered joins, and many strokes finish in pointed, slightly calligraphic terminals. The overall rhythm is narrow and columnar, with tall capitals, long ascenders and descenders, and a restrained, consistent spacing that keeps words compact. Curves show a clear stress and polished transitions, while straight stems remain clean and decisive, producing a poised, high-end texture in running lines.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and finesse can shine—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and large-format posters. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with ample size and breathing room.
The tone is sophisticated and dressy, with a modern editorial polish that suggests luxury and formality. Its slender, glossy contrast and sharp finishing details give it a runway and magazine sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif: narrow, elegant letterforms with fashion-forward contrast and finely cut details. It prioritizes visual sophistication and a polished page presence for premium editorial and branding contexts.
The figure set follows the same refined contrast, with narrow lining numerals and distinctive shapes (notably the curving 2 and looped 3/8/9) that add character without becoming ornamental. Uppercase forms feel stately and monolinear in silhouette, while the lowercase brings liveliness through pointed shoulders and compact bowls, keeping the overall color light and airy.
