This serif typeface is built from extremely thin hairlines contrasted with sharp, slightly thicker verticals, producing a delicate, high-fashion silhouette. Serifs are fine and pointed, with many strokes ending in tapered, needle-like terminals rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and open, and the overall rhythm is vertical and poised, with generous counters and a light footprint that keeps text feeling airy. The italics are not shown; the roman includes distinctive, calligraphic inflections in letters like a, g, y, and the numerals, where thin entry/exit strokes add flourish without becoming fully script-like.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-impact poster work where its hairline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section heads where a refined, dramatic texture is desired.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a cool, boutique-editorial feel. Its razor-thin details and sculpted terminals convey sophistication and restraint, leaning toward modern glamour rather than bookish warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, couture-style serif with extreme contrast and meticulous finishing, prioritizing elegance and visual drama in display settings while maintaining conventional serif letterforms for familiar readability.
At display sizes the sharp contrast and fine finishing details read as precise and intentional, while at smaller sizes the very thin hairlines may visually recede, emphasizing the vertical structure. The figures mix strong upright stems with delicate curved connections, keeping numerals consistent with the same refined, high-contrast language.
