A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered serifs paired to thicker vertical stems. The overall construction feels rational and formal, with smooth, clean curves and a distinctly vertical stress in rounded forms. Proportions are balanced and moderately tall, and spacing is open enough to keep the thin features from visually clogging in display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same poised, minimal-bracket detailing, producing a crisp, polished rhythm across text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and fashion or beauty branding where high contrast and finesse are an asset. It can also work for upscale packaging, invitations, and titling, especially when set at larger sizes with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is sophisticated and modern-classic, projecting luxury and restraint rather than warmth. Its thin finishing strokes and pristine contrast create a sense of precision that reads as premium and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice with dramatic contrast and finely finished details, optimized for elegant typography rather than utilitarian, dense setting.
In the sample text, the hairlines and fine serifs contribute a shimmering texture; the design looks most confident when given room to breathe. Diagonal strokes (notably in K, V, W, X, and y) appear lean and sharp, reinforcing the sleek, tailored character.
