A delicate, high-contrast roman with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered joins. The design shows pronounced modulation through curves and diagonals, with crisp terminals that often finish in pointed wedges or fine, blade-like tips. Uppercase forms are tall and poised with generous counters, while the lowercase uses narrow, vertical stems and flowing bowls that read cleanly at display sizes. Numerals echo the same contrast and curvature, with elegant, sweeping strokes and minimal ornament beyond the modulation itself.
Best suited for display applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury brand identities, and refined posters. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads where its contrast and sharp terminals can remain clear, but it is most confident when given ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, combining restrained classicism with a modern, high-fashion edge. Its dramatic contrast and airy hairlines create a sense of ceremony and sophistication, suited to premium branding and editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast model, prioritizing visual drama, crispness, and premium tone in display typography. Its proportions and modulation aim to create a bright, sophisticated texture that feels at home in editorial and luxury contexts.
In text, the rhythm is driven by strong verticals and intermittent hairline connections, producing a lively sparkle and a distinctly “couture” feel. The thinnest strokes appear intentionally fragile, which emphasizes refinement and demands enough size or printing quality to keep the hairlines from disappearing.
