A delicate serif with a hairline–to–stem contrast and an overall crisp, polished construction. The letterforms show a strong vertical emphasis, with thin, sharp serifs and tapered joins that keep counters open and the texture light on the page. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals frequently resolve into fine points or subtle flares, giving the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined logic, producing a consistent, high-end rhythm in both isolated glyphs and continuous text.
Best suited to fashion-led editorial design, magazine typography, and premium branding where its high-contrast elegance can be showcased. It excels in headlines, deck text, and short-form setting such as invitations, packaging, and campaign graphics, especially when given generous sizing and spacing.
The tone is poised and luxurious, balancing restraint with drama through its razor-thin details and stately proportions. It reads as cultured and contemporary, with a distinctly editorial sheen suited to sophisticated typographic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: dramatic contrast, clean verticality, and refined detailing that elevate titles and brand statements. Its consistent, controlled forms suggest an emphasis on polished editorial performance and a sophisticated display presence.
In the text sample, the font produces a bright, high-contrast color with noticeable sparkle from its thin horizontals and serifs. The design’s fine details and sharp terminals create strong visual articulation at display sizes and lend a premium feel to headlines and pull quotes.
