This serif typeface is built around razor-thin hairlines paired with strong vertical stems, creating a crisp, high-fashion contrast and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with clean terminals and smooth bracketless joins that read as precise rather than calligraphic. Uppercase forms are tall and dignified with generous counters, while the lowercase stays measured and readable, with compact, neatly finished details (including a two-storey g and slender f). Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with narrow joins and delicate curves that keep the overall texture airy.
It excels in display roles such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and high-end brand wordmarks where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also suits formal materials like invitations and event collateral, and works well in short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking magazine typography and formal print traditions. Its extreme refinement and bright, open texture convey sophistication and restraint, with a sense of ceremony suited to premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-like interpretation of classic high-contrast serif construction, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and a refined page color. Its forms balance tradition with a clean, contemporary finish aimed at premium editorial and branding use.
Because many strokes resolve into very fine hairlines, the design’s crispness depends on sufficient size and strong reproduction; in smaller settings the light details can visually recede. In larger text, the vertical stress and sharp serifs produce a striking, polished presence.
