A delicate modern serif with extremely thin hairlines set against sharp, tapered thick strokes. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than blocky, with a crisp, engraved feel at stroke terminals. Curves are smooth and generously open (notably in C, O, and S), while verticals stay straight and taut, giving the design a clean, upright posture. The lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, slender joins, and narrow apertures, with overall proportions that feel slightly elongated and high-fashion in rhythm.
Best suited to fashion and beauty branding, magazine covers and section heads, premium packaging, and large-format headlines where the sharp contrast can read clearly. It also works for elegant pull quotes and short editorial titling, particularly in spacious layouts with restrained color and generous margins.
The tone is polished and aspirational, with a quiet sense of luxury. Its razor-thin details and sculpted contrast convey sophistication and poise, reading as contemporary and editorial rather than rustic or casual.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary luxury serif voice: highly polished, contrast-led, and visually striking at display sizes, while retaining conventional text-serif structure for familiar reading patterns.
The design’s hairline features and needle-like serifs create a bright, airy texture, especially at larger sizes where contrast and sharp terminals become a key visual signature. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and thin finishing strokes, maintaining an upscale, display-forward consistency.
