A delicate modern serif with extreme stroke modulation: razor-thin hairlines and crisply weighted verticals create a sleek, high-fashion silhouette. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves show a controlled, vertical stress. Proportions are tall and graceful, with generous counters and a clean, poised rhythm; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height while ascenders and capitals feel statuesque. The numerals and punctuation follow the same refined logic, emphasizing thin horizontals and precise terminals.
Best suited to large-size applications such as magazine headlines, mastheads, luxury packaging, beauty/fashion campaigns, and elegant brand wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where high contrast and refined detail are the focus.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, projecting sophistication and restraint. Its bright, airy color and incisive details evoke runway/editorial typography and premium branding rather than everyday utility.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast serif for prestige communication—prioritizing elegance, dramatic contrast, and typographic sparkle in display settings.
The hairline joins and thin horizontals are visually prominent, so spacing and line breaks benefit from ample room. In the sample text, the design reads best when allowed to breathe, where its contrast and fine finishing can remain crisp.
