A hairline serif with strongly vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems are extremely thin and straight, while bowls and curves carry slightly fuller strokes, creating a crisp, glassy rhythm. Proportions are condensed with tall capitals and long ascenders/descenders, and spacing feels open enough to keep the light strokes from collapsing. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals for a clean, high-fashion finish.
Best suited to headlines, deck titles, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where its contrast and slender serifs can be appreciated. It can work for premium branding elements—logotypes, packaging titles, and invitations—especially when printed or displayed at larger sizes with ample tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a quiet sense of prestige. Its lightness and contrast read as delicate and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial character rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice that feels upscale and editorial. Its condensed proportions and hairline details suggest a focus on striking display typography and refined brand expression rather than long-form, small-size reading.
The numerals and punctuation echo the same hairline construction, with elegant curves and careful tapering that emphasize verticality. The texture in text is bright and airy, with strong letterform presence but a fragile stroke weight that benefits from generous size and calm backgrounds.
