A refined display serif with extremely thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving the letters a crisp, chiseled presence. The design is tightly proportioned with tall caps and compact, vertically oriented counters, and the overall rhythm reads clean and controlled. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, while curves show a distinctly vertical stress and a polished, high‑finish outline quality. Numerals and punctuation follow the same razor-thin detailing, producing a consistent, couture-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, large-size editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, and poster-style statements where contrast and finesse are assets. It works well for magazine covers, luxe packaging, and high-end identity systems when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is luxurious and high-fashion, with a cool, poised formality. Its dramatic contrast and sleek proportions suggest runway/editorial sophistication rather than everyday warmth, making the voice feel premium, modern-classic, and intentionally attention-grabbing.
Likely designed as a modern high-contrast serif for premium display settings, prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a strong vertical rhythm. The tight proportions and delicate serifs appear intended to deliver a distinctive, upscale signature in titles and branding.
In longer samples the thin joins and hairlines create a bright, airy color, while the heavier verticals form a strong cadence that reads best at larger sizes. The narrow set width and tall silhouettes emphasize verticality, giving headings a statuesque, refined presence.
