A delicate serif with extremely thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a crisp, high-precision texture. Serifs are fine and sharp with a restrained, contemporary Didone-like finish, and curves are smoothly drawn with tight joins. Proportions run narrow with tall capitals and compact lowercase, while spacing stays even enough to keep lines from feeling brittle at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast and slender build, giving the set a cohesive, polished rhythm.
Well-suited to fashion and lifestyle editorials, premium brand identities, and sophisticated packaging where a sharp, high-contrast serif is desired. It also fits invitations and formal titling, and can work for short bursts of text when set large with ample leading.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting elegance and restraint rather than warmth. Its razor-thin detailing and controlled contrast suggest luxury, formality, and a modern editorial sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver a sleek, modern take on a classic high-contrast text serif, prioritizing elegance and visual drama in display and editorial settings while maintaining a conventional, readable structure.
In the sample text, the font reads best when given room to breathe: generous point sizes and comfortable line spacing help preserve the fine hairlines. The narrow forms create a focused, vertical rhythm that can feel dramatic in headlines and pull quotes.
