A delicately drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear vertical stress. Stems are slender and polished, with razor-fine hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs that keep edges crisp. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that add a subtle calligraphic feel. Proportions lean tall and airy, and the overall rhythm alternates confidently between strong verticals and whisper-thin connecting strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and refined event or hospitality materials. It also works well for pull quotes and short passages at larger sizes where the contrast and hairlines remain crisp; for longer text, generous size and leading help maintain clarity.
The tone is poised and luxurious, evoking fashion mastheads and high-end editorial typography. Its restraint and precision read as modern and sophisticated, with a slightly dramatic flair from the extreme contrast. The overall impression is quiet, upscale, and curated rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a modern high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, airiness, and sharp detail. Its geometry and finish suggest an intention to create striking typographic hierarchy with minimal weight and maximum refinement.
In the sample text, the thinnest horizontals and diagonals become notably delicate, especially in complex shapes and at smaller apparent sizes. Numerals and capitals look particularly at home in display settings where the hairlines can stay clean and uninterrupted, and spacing feels intentionally open to preserve the lightness.
