A delicate serif with hairline strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a crisp, high-fashion silhouette. Serifs are fine and sharp, with largely unbracketed joins that keep the forms clean and tensioned. Capitals feel tall and statuesque with generous inner counters (notably in C, O, and G), while the lowercase maintains a poised rhythm with narrow-ish proportions and a slightly high-waisted feel. Curves are smoothly drawn and precise, and numerals follow the same refined contrast with elegant, open forms.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding applications such as cosmetics, fragrance, jewelry, and upscale packaging, as well as invitations and titling where a formal, premium voice is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, evoking fashion magazines, upscale packaging, and gallery-grade editorial typography. Its airy hairlines and controlled contrast read as sophisticated and formal rather than friendly or casual, lending a sense of prestige and restraint.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, fashion-forward interpretation of classic high-contrast serif construction—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and crisp detail to create a premium typographic voice for display-led contexts.
The design’s thin horizontals and terminals create a shimmering texture in paragraphs, with strong vertical emphasis and bright, open counters. It presents best when given ample spacing and sizes that preserve the fine details, as the light hairlines are a defining visual feature.
