A delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. Stems are straight and crisp, with sharp, largely unbracketed serifs and a clean, polished rhythm across text. Round letters show smooth, controlled curves; the uppercase is stately and narrow-feeling in presence, while the lowercase keeps an airy texture with compact counters and neat terminals. Numerals are similarly refined, with thin horizontals and graceful curves that maintain the overall light, precise color on the page.
Best suited to display and editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book titling where its fine strokes can be rendered cleanly. It also fits luxury branding and formal collateral—packaging, invitations, and identity systems—especially when paired with ample whitespace and high-quality printing or high-resolution screens.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—cool, luxurious, and formal. Its razor-thin details and structured letterforms suggest fashion, culture, and high-end print traditions rather than casual or utilitarian contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif voice: dramatic contrast, precise hairlines, and a composed, traditional silhouette that elevates headlines and refined brand messaging.
In paragraph settings the face reads as bright and spacious, with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines and sharp serifs. The design’s contrast and fine joins create a sophisticated texture that rewards generous sizes and careful reproduction.
