A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Stems are slender and straight, with extremely fine hairlines and crisp, pointed serifs that read as unbracketed or minimally bracketed. The proportions are tall and tightly set, giving a compressed rhythm; curves (C, O, S) are taut and controlled, while joins and apexes (A, V, W) resolve into sharp, clean points. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same refined contrast, with narrow counters and a consistent, disciplined texture in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial settings where its fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and elegant packaging. It can also work for compact titling in narrow layouts where a tall, refined serif texture is desired.
The font conveys a polished, fashion-forward sophistication with a slightly dramatic, high-style presence. Its sharp detailing and delicate strokes suggest luxury and formality rather than warmth or casualness, producing an airy, upscale tone on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic contrasted serif: maximizing elegance through extreme stroke modulation, crisp serifs, and compressed proportions for a distinctive, upscale page presence.
In running text, the strong contrast creates a shimmering texture and emphasizes verticality, while the narrow widths lend an economical, column-friendly color. The fine joins and thin cross-strokes heighten the sense of precision, especially in letters like E/F/T and the slender uppercase I/J.
