This serif typeface features extreme stroke contrast with razor-thin hairlines and stronger verticals, producing a delicate, high-definition texture. Serifs are sharp and fine with little bracketing, and the overall construction is upright with a predominantly vertical stress in rounded letters. Proportions feel open and generously spaced, with tall ascenders/descenders and narrow internal joins that keep the page color light. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a fine, slightly calligraphic “f,” while numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with thin terminals and elegant curves.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, luxury labels, and formal invitations. It can work for short passages in large sizes where its hairlines remain clear, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a poised, runway/editorial character. Its crisp hairlines and dramatic contrast communicate sophistication and formality, lending a composed, high-end voice to headlines and display settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serif forms, prioritizing elegance and visual drama. Its light page color, precise serifs, and vertical stress suggest an emphasis on premium editorial aesthetics and refined branding.
The design leans on precise, needle-like terminals and long, clean curves that emphasize brightness and negative space. In text samples, the rhythm reads smooth and refined, but the thinnest strokes create an intentionally fragile impression that benefits from careful size and color choices.
