A refined serif with extreme stroke modulation: stout vertical stems contrast with razor-thin hairlines and delicate crossbars. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed in feel, with tapered terminals that read crisp and precise. The narrow proportions and tall capitals create a tight, vertical rhythm, while counters remain clean and open enough to hold up in display sizes. Several glyphs show gently calligraphic touches—subtle curls and teardrop-like terminals on letters such as J, a, g, y, and 2—adding a boutique, crafted character to an otherwise cool, high-fashion structure.
Best used for headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where its hairlines and sharp serifs can print or render cleanly at larger sizes. It can add a premium tone to beauty and fashion packaging, event collateral, and editorial layouts; for longer text, it will be most comfortable in short passages or as typographic accents rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a runway/editorial sensibility that feels premium and intentional. The sharp contrast and fine details give it a dramatic, polished voice suited to sophisticated branding and high-end storytelling.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern-didone style impact: tall, narrow letterforms with intense contrast and precise detailing that signal luxury and editorial authority, while small ornamental flourishes keep it from feeling purely austere.
The design leans on thin joins and hairline connections that look especially delicate in letters like E, F, T, and in the diagonals of V/W/X. Numerals echo the same high-contrast, stylized construction, with a notably ornamental 2 and curving 3 that reinforce the expressive, display-forward personality.
