A sharply refined serif with hairline-thin joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The proportions are distinctly condensed, producing a tall, vertical rhythm with generous white space inside and between letters. Serifs are small and crisp, with minimal bracketing, while terminals and curves feel taut and carefully controlled. Overall texture is light and shimmering, with stroke contrast doing most of the work rather than mass or width.
Best suited to large sizes where the thin details can remain clear: magazine headlines, fashion or beauty branding, elegant packaging, and high-end logotypes. It can also work for short pull quotes and event materials when ample spacing and clean reproduction are available.
The tone is polished and high-end, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its delicacy and vertical poise read as formal and sophisticated, leaning more toward display luxury than everyday utilitarian text. The narrow stance adds a composed, slightly dramatic flavor that feels modern-classic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxury-leaning serif voice through condensed proportions and pronounced contrast, optimizing for striking titles and refined brand expression rather than dense, continuous reading.
In the sample text, the fine horizontals and hairline connections create an airy page color, while the condensed capitals bring strong vertical emphasis. Numerals share the same refined contrast and slim footprint, aligning well with the letterforms for titling and price/figure settings.
