A delicate high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharp, needle-like serifs. Vertical stems read confidently dark against extremely light connecting strokes, creating a crisp rhythm and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and coolly controlled (notably in O/Q/C), with narrow join transitions and little visible bracketing. Proportions feel expansive and elegant, with generous spacing and a calm, upright stance; terminals often finish in fine points or small, tapered wedges.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where contrast and finesse can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for upscale packaging, invitations, and editorial layouts when given ample size and spacing. For smaller text, the extreme hairlines suggest using it sparingly and with careful reproduction settings.
The overall tone is polished and rarefied, evoking couture/editorial typography and classic luxury cues. Its airy construction and strong contrast give it a poised, formal presence, more suited to display than utilitarian text. The feel is sophisticated and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic stroke modulation, crisp serifs, and a composed, editorial texture. It prioritizes elegance and visual hierarchy, aiming for premium presence in display typography.
Several glyphs emphasize a refined, calligraphic logic—thin cross-strokes and diagonals appear almost wire-like, while verticals anchor the texture. Numerals follow the same fashion-forward contrast, with delicate curves and fine entry/exit strokes that keep the color light and elegant in setting.
