This serif typeface pairs sharp, hairline-thin strokes with broad vertical stems, creating a crisp, high-waisted rhythm typical of modern display serifs. Serifs are fine and pointed with subtle bracketing, and curves are smooth and tightly controlled, giving counters a clean, polished finish. Proportions feel tall and stately with a notably small x-height, while capitals read narrow and disciplined with strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and punctuation follow the same delicate, high-contrast construction, reading best when given space and size.
It excels in magazine and book display settings—pull quotes, section heads, and large typographic statements—where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also suits luxury branding applications such as cosmetics, jewelry, and hospitality, as well as posters and invitations that benefit from a formal, polished voice.
The overall tone is sophisticated and couture-leaning, with a poised, formal presence that suggests luxury, high-end editorial design, and classical refinement. Its delicate hairlines lend a sense of precision and exclusivity, while the calm, upright posture keeps it composed rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice with classic roots: tall proportions, precise curves, and sharply articulated hairlines that prioritize elegance and impact in display typography.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and fine joins create a shimmering texture that can look striking in large sizes, while tighter settings may cause the light strokes to visually recede. Round letters maintain a consistent, smooth oval stress, and the design’s strong verticality makes it feel especially structured and headline-oriented.
