A delicate serif with hairline horizontals and strong vertical emphasis, producing a crisp, high-fashion rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered, with pronounced contrast between thick stems and thin connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are generally open, and the overall color stays light and airy even at larger text sizes. Numerals and capitals feel poised and carefully proportioned, with occasional long, graceful terminals in the lowercase that add a subtle calligraphic lift without introducing slant.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury packaging, and brand wordmarks where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It can work for short text passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and leading, but it is especially effective in display and editorial settings.
The tone is polished and upscale, evoking contemporary editorial typography and luxury branding. Its bright, high-contrast sparkle reads sophisticated and modern, with an understated drama that suits premium, image-led contexts.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with an emphasis on elegance and visual precision. The intent appears to balance classic editorial sophistication with a clean contemporary finish, using delicate serifs and controlled proportions to create a premium impression.
The design relies on fine details—thin crossbars, sharp joins, and narrow apertures—so it rewards generous sizing and comfortable spacing. Descenders and select lowercase forms introduce stylish flourishes that can add elegance in headlines while remaining restrained in running text.
