This serif typeface features an extremely fine hairline vocabulary paired with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems read tall and crisp with vertical stress, while curves in letters like O, C, and S are drawn with taut, high-contrast arcs and very thin joins. Terminals are clean and pointed, giving diagonals (V, W, X, Y) a precise, cut-metal feel. Lowercase forms keep a restrained, classic construction with a relatively modest x-height, narrow apertures, and slender ascenders/descenders that emphasize vertical rhythm. Numerals match the same delicate contrast and narrow proportions, with elegant bowls and fine entry/exit strokes.
Best suited for display typography where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and high-end brand marks. It can also work for short pulls or deck copy when set with generous size and careful spacing.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, with a distinctly editorial, runway-ready polish. Its sharp serifs and whisper-thin hairlines communicate luxury and formality, while the narrow, vertical rhythm adds a modern, composed coolness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif formality, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama over utilitarian robustness. Its narrow, vertical posture and refined detailing suggest a focus on sophisticated editorial and branding applications.
At larger sizes the hairlines create striking sparkle and a refined texture; in longer text the very thin strokes can visually soften, making spacing and size choices especially important. The italics are not shown, and the roman’s crisp terminals and strong contrast define the family’s character in the samples provided.
