A very slender serif with hairline strokes and crisp, finely bracketed serifs. The design is strongly vertical and high-waisted, with tall ascenders and relatively compact bowls that create an elongated rhythm across words. Contrast is present but restrained by the overall thin construction, with sharp joins and tapered terminals that stay clean rather than ornate. Curves are narrow and controlled, and the numerals mirror the same light, linear structure with a distinctly graceful “2” and open, oval “0” and “8”.
Well-suited to magazine and book display settings, fashion and beauty branding, and luxury packaging where a refined, high-contrast serif voice is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes, titling, and identity wordmarks, especially when set with ample tracking and strong contrast against the background.
The tone is poised and refined, projecting a quiet luxury feel through its slender proportions and delicate detailing. It reads as modern-classical: formal enough for editorial typography, yet light and airy with a fashion-forward crispness.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, contemporary take on a classic text serif by pushing proportions toward tall, narrow forms and reducing stroke weight to an ultra-delicate, high-fashion register. It prioritizes elegance and typographic presence over sturdiness, aiming for a distinctive editorial sparkle in display use.
The uppercase forms emphasize height and vertical stress, while the lowercase introduces subtle calligraphic inflections in letters like “a”, “g”, and “y”, adding personality without becoming decorative. Because strokes are extremely thin, the face visually benefits from generous sizes and careful spacing to preserve its sharpness and elegance.
