This serif typeface uses an extreme thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and delicate, sharp serifs paired to strong vertical stems. Forms are smooth and high-waisted with tight, controlled curves, producing a crisp, polished silhouette in both capitals and lowercase. Terminals tend toward fine points or tapered wedges, and the overall rhythm feels carefully balanced with generous counters and a clean, vertical axis. Figures match the letterforms’ contrast and refinement, with slim joins and prominent stress in rounded shapes.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, invitations, and large-format posters. It can also work for short editorial passages where a refined, high-end tone is desired and reproduction conditions allow its fine details to remain clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details give it a cultured, high-fashion feel that reads as premium and formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with dramatic contrast and precise detailing, emphasizing elegance and visual impact in display typography while maintaining conventional serif readability cues.
At larger sizes the hairline strokes and sharp serifs become a key part of the visual identity, giving the design a bright, shimmering texture on the page. The sample text shows a strong hierarchy potential: heavy verticals anchor words while thin strokes create lightness, resulting in a sophisticated, poster-like presence.
