This typeface is a slender, hairline serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and crisp, finely tapered serifs. Curves are drawn with a smooth, controlled modulation that creates a poised high-contrast rhythm, while the italic stance reads more as a steep, upright-leaning editorial italic than a cursive form. Counters are narrow and tall, with generous vertical reach in ascenders and descenders; terminals are sharp and often slightly hooked, especially in lowercase. Overall spacing feels measured and airy, letting the delicate strokes hold together in display sizes.
Best suited to large-size applications where its hairline details can remain crisp: magazine mastheads, fashion or beauty campaigns, luxury identity systems, packaging, and elegant invitations. It can also work for short bursts of text—pull quotes, deck lines, and captions—when reproduced at sufficient size and quality.
The tone is luxurious and composed, with a couture-like polish that suggests premium editorial design. Its thin, high-drama contrast reads sophisticated and stylish, lending a sense of ceremony and exclusivity rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: tall proportions, razor-thin strokes, and a controlled italic energy that prioritizes elegance and visual impact over dense text economy.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and linear, with restrained ornament and a consistent, columnar silhouette. Numerals follow the same refined, elongated construction, keeping the set visually cohesive in headlines and figure-heavy layouts.
