A refined display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strong vertical stress. Hairline serifs and terminals stay crisp and unbracketed, while the main stems remain tall and straight, creating an airy, high-definition rhythm. Counters are generous and round forms (C, O, Q) feel open, with tightly drawn joins and delicate connecting strokes. The lowercase is compact and disciplined, with a two-storey a, a looped g, and fine, tapering details that read as intentionally drawn rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, campaign posters, and luxury brand identities. It can also perform well for short-form copy like pull quotes, section openers, and packaging text when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a polished, high-end character associated with fashion and luxury publishing. Its extreme delicacy and sharp contrast add a sense of sophistication and restraint, giving headlines a dramatic, premium voice without feeling ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic high-fashion serif voice: tall proportions, dramatic contrast, and precise hairline finishing that emphasize sophistication and visual sparkle in display settings.
The design’s thin horizontals and hairlines create bright texture and strong sparkle at large sizes, while small sizes may demand generous spacing and careful contrast control to keep fine details from visually dropping out. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, pairing well with titling and editorial layouts.
