A sharply contrasted serif with tall, slender proportions and pronounced vertical stress. Thick stems pair with extremely fine hairlines, producing a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Serifs are delicate and precise, with tapered feet and pointed, calligraphic joins in places; curves show elegant swelling and tight apertures. Uppercase forms feel stately and columnar, while the lowercase maintains a controlled, text-ready structure with lively details in letters like a, g, r, and y. Numerals and punctuation follow the same polished contrast, with thin cross-strokes and sculpted curves.
Best suited to display typography: magazine covers, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant campaign headlines. It also works well for pull quotes, mastheads, and short, high-impact statements where its contrast and detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and glamorous, with a dramatic, editorial presence. Its razor-thin details and poised proportions suggest sophistication and exclusivity, while the sharp terminals add a subtle edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice optimized for striking display use—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a refined editorial texture over neutral, utilitarian text color.
In larger settings the hairlines read as refined and luxurious; at smaller sizes the extreme contrast may require careful reproduction and sufficient resolution to preserve thin strokes. The design’s narrow stance and tight counters create a sleek texture, especially in all-caps or tightly tracked headlines.
