This serif typeface is built around extreme thick–thin modulation with razor-fine hairlines and sharply defined, unbracketed serifs. The capitals feel statuesque and narrow-to-normal in proportion, with pronounced vertical stress and clean, smooth curves in round forms like O and C. Lowercase characters show a compact x-height against tall ascenders, giving lines a high-waisted, airy texture; delicate joins and thin cross-strokes are especially evident in letters like e, f, and t. Numerals mirror the same contrast and precision, reading as display-oriented with fine terminals and carefully controlled curves.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large-size settings where the hairlines and sharp serifs can render cleanly. It works particularly well for magazine layouts, fashion and beauty applications, luxury branding, and high-contrast poster typography where a refined, premium impression is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with the kind of crisp refinement associated with high-end editorial and fashion typography. The sharp contrast and ample white space in and around letters create a cool, formal voice that feels premium and composed rather than friendly or utilitarian.
The design intent appears to be a modern, high-fashion serif that emphasizes precision, contrast, and vertical elegance. Its proportions and hairline detailing aim to create a sophisticated display texture and a distinctive editorial voice.
At text sizes the hairline details become a prominent stylistic feature, producing a shimmering rhythm and a strong light/dark pattern across words. The forms remain disciplined and symmetrical, prioritizing elegance and verticality over sturdiness, which is reinforced by the thin horizontals and needle-like serifs.
