A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving the letterforms a polished, high-definition look. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed in feel, with fine terminals and a controlled, upright axis. Uppercase proportions are stately and wide-set, while lowercase forms stay compact and tidy, maintaining a measured rhythm in text. Curves resolve into slender, tapered joins, and characters like the two-storey “g” and the long, fine-armed “k” reinforce a precise, fashion-forward silhouette. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and look designed to sit cleanly alongside capitals in display settings.
Best suited to magazine typography, fashion and lifestyle branding, and high-end headlines where its contrast and fine detail can read cleanly. It can work for pull quotes and short blocks of text in spacious layouts, and pairs naturally with minimalist sans companions for modern editorial systems.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, with a couture/editorial flavor that reads as premium and intentional. Its crisp contrast and airy spacing convey luxury and restraint rather than warmth or informality. In longer passages it feels formal and composed, emphasizing clarity and hierarchy.
The font appears designed to deliver a luxurious, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, strong typographic hierarchy, and a polished display presence in print-like layouts.
The design leans on thin connective strokes and sharp finishing details, so it visually rewards generous sizes and ample white space. Round letters (C, O, Q) appear especially smooth and open, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) feel precise and architectural, creating a balanced mix of softness and structure.
