A delicate, hairline serif with pronounced contrast between razor-thin horizontals and fuller verticals. The overall construction is upright and finely drawn, with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a distinctly vertical stress in round forms. Proportions are on the condensed side with tall capitals and a restrained, regular x-height; counters stay open but feel taut due to the thin joins and narrow set. Terminals and joins are sharp and controlled, and the numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, polished rhythm suited to display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and large-format typography where the hairline details can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding touchpoints such as packaging, fragrance/beauty identities, invitations, and refined poster work where an airy, high-fashion voice is desired.
The font projects a poised, luxurious tone—cool, precise, and premium. Its extreme finesse reads as fashion-forward and editorial, with a quiet sophistication that feels suited to high-end branding rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif voice: minimal, precise, and visually striking at display scale. Its condensed, vertical rhythm and sharp detailing prioritize elegance and impact over small-size robustness.
At smaller sizes the hairlines and tight apertures may visually recede, while at larger sizes the contrast and sharp serifs become a defining feature. The italic is not shown; the presented style reads as a single, upright display cut with strong emphasis on verticals.
