A razor-thin, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely delicate hairlines. Stems are tall and attenuated, with long ascenders/descenders and a narrow overall footprint that creates a taut, vertical rhythm. Serifs read as fine, sharp terminals rather than heavy feet, and curves (C, G, O, Q) are drawn with wide, open bowls contrasted by filament-like joins. In text, the texture is airy and sparkling, with clear stroke modulation and tight-looking letterforms that emphasize height over width.
Best suited for display typography where its thin hairlines and strong modulation can be appreciated—fashion and culture magazines, luxury brand identities, fragrance/beauty packaging, event materials, and high-end posters. It can also work for pull quotes and short headlines paired with a sturdier text face for body copy.
The font conveys a refined, couture-like sophistication with a poised, slightly dramatic presence. Its whisper-thin details and statuesque proportions suggest luxury, exclusivity, and a classic editorial sensibility rather than everyday utility.
Designed to deliver an ultra-refined, high-fashion serif voice built around extreme contrast and narrow, elongated proportions. The emphasis appears to be on creating dramatic, elegant headlines with a polished, contemporary editorial finish.
At larger sizes the contrast and sharpness give striking clarity, while at smaller sizes the hairlines and fine serifs may visually soften or recede. Numerals follow the same tall, delicate logic, and the overall impression is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
