A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and extremely fine hairlines that taper into sharp, clean terminals. Serifs are small and precise, with a chiseled, modern feel rather than soft bracketing, and the overall drawing favors straight stems, crisp joins, and polished curves. Uppercase forms are tall and poised with generous counters, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a delicate, airy rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with thin entry strokes and prominent main stems that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, and campaign graphics where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It also works well for elegant pull quotes, invitations, and premium packaging typography, particularly when set with ample spacing and high-quality output.
The font conveys a composed, upscale tone—cool, editorial, and intentionally dramatic. Its razor-thin details and stately proportions suggest sophistication and restraint, with a fashion-forward sharpness that feels premium rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice: refined proportions, strong vertical structure, and striking contrast that creates a memorable silhouette in titles and brand marks.
In continuous text, the hairlines create a bright, sparkling texture, while the heavier verticals anchor the line and reinforce a formal cadence. The design’s precision and slender details make it especially sensitive to size and reproduction conditions, where its finesse becomes a key part of the aesthetic.
