A delicate, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, strong vertical stems, and a crisp, upright construction. Serifs are fine and sharp, with minimal bracketing and a clean, engraved feel that keeps terminals precise rather than soft. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals) show pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and a steady rhythm, while the overall spacing reads airy and controlled. The lowercase uses a relatively modest x-height and narrow joins, giving text a tall, stately texture; the italic is not shown.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and title typography where its contrast and hairline detailing can stay crisp. It also fits luxury branding, editorial mastheads, invitations, and premium packaging that benefit from a formal, high-fashion voice; for extended small-size text, ample size and careful printing/screen rendering will help preserve the fine strokes.
The font projects a polished, high-end tone associated with fashion and cultural publishing. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing feel ceremonial and upscale, with a cool, composed elegance rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a couture/editorial sensibility, emphasizing vertical elegance, sharp finishing, and a clean, premium texture in display settings.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a shimmering texture at larger sizes, while the strongest verticals carry most of the weight. The design favors clarity of silhouette and refined letterforms over ruggedness, with particularly striking capitals and numerals that read as display-forward.
