A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs, balanced by smooth, swelling curves. The uppercase shows tall, poised proportions and clean vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with compact bowls and precise joins. Details are crisp and delicate—thin crossbars (notably in E/F/T), fine entry strokes, and narrow connecting strokes in letters like n/m/u—creating a polished, airy texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same refined logic with slender stems and sculpted curves, producing a consistent, sophisticated set.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display applications where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium brand systems—beauty, jewelry, fragrance, and upscale packaging—where an elegant, editorial voice is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and cultivated, projecting a sense of sophistication associated with fashion, art publishing, and premium branding. Its sharp contrast and immaculate finishing give it a formal, high-end voice that feels composed and intentional rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif conventions, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a refined vertical rhythm for impactful display typography.
In text settings the light hairlines and fine serifs create a bright page color and a distinctly “glossy” typographic sparkle, with punctuation and diacritics rendered as small, precise marks. The design relies on delicate strokes, so it visually rewards generous sizes and careful spacing where its detailing can remain clear.
