A very slender serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing details. The overall skeleton is strongly vertical, with long ascenders/descenders and tight, economical letterforms that stack into a compact rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than bracketed, and many joins resolve into tapered, calligraphic-looking terminals. Curves (C, O, e) show clear contrast and a slightly drawn, incised feel, while straight stems remain dominant and clean.
Best suited to display and editorial roles where its thin serifs and contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, titling, fashion branding, and formal invitations. It can also work for short passages or captions when generous size and spacing are available, but it is visually at its strongest in larger, airy settings.
The tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its narrow proportions and sparkling contrast create a sense of drama and polish, suited to luxurious or classical communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a conventional text serif: condensed and highly contrasted for impact, while keeping familiar letter structures for readability and a classic typographic voice.
In running text the font produces a bright, high-contrast texture with prominent verticals and delicate details that become especially noticeable at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with thin entry/exit strokes and elegant curves that complement headline typography.
