A crisp modern serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and long, hairline joins. Serifs are small and sharp, with a clean, contemporary finish rather than heavy bracketing, and the curves are drawn with smooth, taut tension. Uppercase forms are tall and stately with generous interior space, while lowercase keeps a restrained, bookish structure with a two-storey “g” and compact, precise terminals. Numerals continue the same hairline elegance, with an especially delicate “1” and strong, sculpted curves in “2”, “3”, and “8”.
Best suited to display and headline use where its contrast and delicate details can be appreciated: magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and upscale brand identities. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, and titling when set with comfortable tracking and enough size to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, combining a fashion-led sheen with a calm, classical poise. Its fine hairlines and poised proportions read as premium and ceremonial, with a slightly dramatic editorial character that feels more boutique than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice: minimal, sharply cut serifs paired with dramatic modulation for maximum sophistication. It aims to look expensive and composed, prioritizing elegance and visual sparkle in display settings.
At text sizes the design relies on clear spacing and careful stroke contrast to maintain legibility, while at larger sizes the razor-thin horizontals and terminals become a defining stylistic feature. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q emphasize a refined geometry, and the punctuation and dots appear small and precise relative to the stems.
