A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress, pairing needle-like hairlines with firm, straight stems. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, precise finish. Uppercase forms feel tall and sculptural with generous interior space, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height and an overall light, buoyant rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled (notably in O/C/G), and the figures follow the same refined contrast, with slender joins and open counters that keep the texture bright in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, as well as premium brand identities and packaging where refinement is a priority. It also works well for invitations and cultural posters that benefit from a light, elegant voice, especially when set with ample leading and not-too-small sizes.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, projecting a polished, high-end sensibility. Its fine details and poised proportions read as sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a calm, gallery-like restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic thick–thin interplay, crisp finishing, and a bright page color that elevates content with an upscale, editorial presence.
In text, the hairline horizontals and serifs create a shimmering, high-definition texture that rewards generous sizing and comfortable spacing. The design’s sharpness and strong contrast make it particularly striking in titles and short lines, where the thin strokes can be appreciated without visual breakup.
