This typeface is a delicate serif with extremely thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, giving strokes a crisp, etched finish. Round letters show smooth, controlled curves with small apertures, while vertical stems dominate the rhythm and create a composed, formal texture. Lowercase forms are slender and tidy, with a single-storey “g” and a compact, modern-looking “a”; ascenders are tall relative to the x-height, reinforcing an airy, high-fashion silhouette. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined contrast, with narrow joins and fine terminals that emphasize precision over robustness.
Best used for large-scale typography such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury brand marks, and premium packaging where sharp contrast and fine terminals can print cleanly. It can also work for short editorial passages or captions when set with generous size and leading, but it is most convincing as a display face.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, projecting a couture/editorial sensibility. Its high refinement and razor-thin details feel formal, dramatic, and premium—better suited to statement setting than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with a strong vertical emphasis and theatrical contrast—optimized for elegant, image-forward contexts where sophistication and precision are paramount.
Distinctive details include a decorative tail on the capital “Q” and very fine cross-strokes and joins that can visually fade at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. Spacing appears measured and elegant, supporting poised headlines and pull quotes where the contrast can be appreciated.
