This serif typeface is built from extremely thin hairlines paired with sharper, thicker verticals, creating a distinctly high-contrast rhythm. Proportions are tall and condensed, with ample white space inside and between letters that keeps large settings feeling light and crisp. Serifs are fine and tapered, and curves are drawn with smooth, controlled modulation; the round forms (C, O, Q) read as precise and polished. The lowercase shows a restrained, editorial construction with a single-storey g, a compact t, and narrow bowls on b/d/p, maintaining a consistent, vertical texture across words.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial work, magazine headlines, and high-end branding where elegance and vertical sparkle are desired. It will also perform well in short blocks of display text such as invitations, beauty packaging, and refined logotypes, especially at larger sizes where its hairlines can breathe.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a cool, editorial sophistication. Its delicate contrast and narrow stance suggest premium, fashion-forward styling rather than casual or utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs: tall, slim forms with precise modulation and minimal ornamentation. Its focus is on sophistication and visual finesse, prioritizing display clarity and stylish texture in titles and brand-led typography.
The numerals follow the same refined contrast and slim proportions, blending naturally with uppercase settings. In the sample text, spacing feels measured and airy, emphasizing line elegance over dense color.
