This serif typeface features razor-thin hairlines paired with strong, clean main stems, creating a dramatic thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with a distinctly vertical stress and smooth, high-finish curves in round letters. Proportions feel slightly narrow-to-normal with generous internal whitespace, and the drawing stays crisp and controlled across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with fine entry/exit strokes and a poised, display-oriented stance.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and brand identities that benefit from a luxurious, high-contrast voice. It can also work for titles on posters and packaging where ample size and clean printing conditions allow the fine hairlines to remain intact.
The overall tone is luxurious and cultivated, leaning toward fashion and art-direction contexts where delicacy and polish read as premium. Its lightness and precision convey sophistication and restraint, with an airy presence that feels modern-classic rather than ornate.
The design appears intended as a contemporary high-contrast serif for display use, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a polished editorial texture. Its controlled geometry and delicate finishing suggest it’s meant to elevate layout typography and brand marks with a premium, fashion-forward feel.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered joins become a defining feature, giving text a shimmering, engraved quality. The design’s refinement is most apparent in curved characters and in the way terminals resolve into fine points, producing a crisp, high-end texture on the page.
