A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical stress. Stems are slender and sharply defined, with fine hairlines, crisp unbracketed serifs, and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the texture airy. Proportions are condensed overall, with tall capitals and long extenders that emphasize a vertical rhythm; curves (C, G, O, S) stay smooth and controlled, and the numerals echo the same narrow, high-contrast construction. In text, spacing feels lean and columnar, producing a light, shimmering color that reads as precise rather than robust.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and editorial display where its hairlines and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, invitations, and poster typography that benefits from tall, narrow letterforms and an elegant, high-contrast presence.
The tone is poised and upscale, evoking fashion and cultural publishing where restraint and polish are part of the message. Its extreme finesse lends a sense of luxury and ceremony, with a cool, modern sharpness layered onto a classical serif backbone.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion display voice: narrow, vertically oriented forms paired with extreme contrast to create drama without heaviness. It prioritizes elegance and typographic sparkle over sturdiness, aiming for a premium, editorial look.
Because the strokes are so fine, the face visually rewards generous sizes and clean reproduction where hairlines and small serifs can remain intact. The condensed set and tall caps create a distinctive, high-verticality silhouette that can look striking in tightly set headlines but may feel fragile if pushed into dense, small text.
