A delicate serif with hairline-thin joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a crisp, high-fashion texture on the page. Serifs are fine and pointed with a lightly calligraphic feel, and curved letters show smooth, round bowls that taper into sharp terminals. Proportions lean tall and slightly condensed in the lowercase, with long ascenders and descenders and a relatively high-waisted rhythm that keeps counters open despite the slender strokes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast, with clean vertical stress and careful, even spacing in text.
Well suited to magazine layouts, luxury and beauty branding, and high-end packaging where sharp contrast and refined details are an asset. It also works effectively for book covers and elegant invitations, and can serve as a distinctive text face when set at sufficiently comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, combining quiet luxury with a cool, contemporary restraint. Its sharp, tapering details add a touch of drama while the consistent rhythm keeps it poised and polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward serif voice with dramatic contrast and precise, tapered finishing, optimized for stylish display and polished editorial typography.
At larger sizes the thin hairlines and needle-like serifs read especially crisp, giving headings a couture look. In running text, the strong contrast and fine details create an airy, shimmering color that benefits from generous size and comfortable line spacing.
