A high-fashion serif with extremely thin hairlines set against strong verticals, producing a distinctly dramatic rhythm. Stems frequently taper and subtly flare into terminals, and serifs are fine, sharp, and lightly bracketed. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow joins and small internal counters that heighten the sense of precision. Uppercase proportions feel formal and statuesque, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable structure with elegant ascenders and compact bowls.
Best suited to magazines, lookbooks, and other editorial layouts where contrast and detail can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits premium branding, fragrance or cosmetics packaging, and headline-driven posters where a refined, fashion-oriented voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a runway-level elegance that reads as premium and contemporary. Its sharp contrast and delicate finishing convey sophistication and a hint of theatricality, making even simple text feel curated and intentional.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary luxury serif: maximal contrast, elegant flaring terminals, and a carefully controlled rhythm that prioritizes sophistication in display and editorial contexts.
In text settings the fine hairlines and narrow connections create a crisp, airy texture, while the stronger verticals keep lines from looking weak. Numerals match the same contrast-driven logic, appearing tailored and display-forward alongside the letters.
