A delicate high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. The letterforms combine sturdy main stems with sharp, tapered serifs and clean, unbracketed joins, producing a crisp, airy color on the page. Proportions feel slightly tall with long ascenders and descenders, and the rounded forms (C, O, G) are smooth and controlled rather than calligraphically irregular. Numerals are slender and graceful, with the lighter figures (notably 1 and 7) reading as poised hairline constructions that match the overall refinement.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, luxury branding, and refined packaging. It can work for short-form body copy in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts where the hairlines and thin serifs remain intact.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—cool, polished, and fashion-adjacent. Its thin details and disciplined rhythm suggest luxury and formality while still feeling contemporary in its restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif voice: maximum elegance through strong verticals, minimal bracketing, and hairline detailing, prioritizing sophistication and visual sparkle over ruggedness.
In text, the extreme contrast creates a bright texture with prominent verticals and whisper-thin connecting strokes; this gives strong elegance but can make fine details and punctuation feel fragile at smaller sizes or on lower-quality reproduction. The italic is not shown; the visible roman relies on sharp finishing and open counters for clarity.
