A serif design with pronounced stroke contrast and predominantly vertical stress, pairing robust main stems with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and clean with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a precise, cut-paper crispness. Proportions feel classically informed: capitals are stately and narrow-to-moderate, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with neatly shaped bowls and a clear, two-storey ‘a’. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, including distinctive curves and delicate joins that emphasize the display character.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and refined posters or invitations. It can also work for short-form editorial settings like pull quotes and section openers where a strong typographic voice is desired. For longer reading, it will likely be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing to preserve the delicacy of its thin strokes.
This typeface projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone with a sense of refinement and drama. The crisp hairlines and assertive thick strokes create a poised, high-end mood that feels confident and carefully composed. Overall it reads as elegant and slightly theatrical rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and contrast at larger sizes, where hairline detailing and sculpted curves can be appreciated. Its letterforms prioritize sophistication and visual hierarchy, aiming for a premium, magazine-like voice that elevates titles and brand statements.
The sample text shows strong sparkle and rhythm from the alternating thick-and-thin strokes, with especially prominent hairlines in letters like E, F, T, and in the diagonals of V/W/X. The Q features a decorative tail, and the figures include stylized forms (notably 2 and 7) that reinforce a classic, high-fashion display personality.
