This typeface features extremely slender hairline strokes with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, fine serifs. Letterforms are tall and condensed, with generous internal whitespace and a clean, upright axis. Curves are drawn with smooth, taut geometry (notably in C/O/Q), while joins and terminals stay sharp and minimal, giving the overall rhythm a light, vertical emphasis. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height for the style, with long ascenders/descenders and narrow counters that reinforce its refined, high-contrast texture.
It suits display-driven applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, invitations, and poster titling. The thin detailing and condensed build make it especially effective for large sizes where its contrast and fine serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, with a luxe, fashion-forward feel. Its high-contrast delicacy reads as premium and formal, lending a sense of restraint and polish rather than warmth or robustness.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary, high-contrast serif optimized for elegant display typography—prioritizing vertical tension, delicate detailing, and a polished editorial voice.
At text sizes the hairline detailing and tight proportions create an airy but fragile color, suggesting it will be most comfortable when given ample size and spacing. Numerals follow the same elegant, high-contrast construction, and the glyph set shown maintains consistent verticality and disciplined spacing across capitals and lowercase.
