This typeface is a very thin, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and finely tapered curves. Strokes often widen subtly as they approach terminals, creating a gentle flare rather than blunt slab endings, and the serifs read as sharp, minimal, and lightly bracketed. Round forms (C, O, Q) are smooth and open with pronounced contrast, while verticals remain straight and clean, giving the design a crisp, polished rhythm. The lowercase shows a restrained, editorial structure with small, precise details—like a compact ear on the g and delicate entry/exit strokes—maintaining an overall light, even texture in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, luxury branding, and other display-forward settings where fine contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form text in high-quality print or larger sizes, where the delicate hairlines and flared terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a quiet sophistication that feels at home in high-end editorial and cultural contexts. Its extreme delicacy and glossy contrast suggest a fashion and magazine sensibility, conveying refinement more than ruggedness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: refined proportions, dramatic contrast, and subtle flaring that adds a tailored, calligraphic finish without becoming ornate.
In the sample text, the hairline joins and terminals stay consistent, producing a bright page color and a distinctly sparkling texture at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals appear designed for display clarity, with ample counters and carefully controlled curves, while maintaining the same razor-thin detailing throughout.
