A slender, high-contrast serif with tall proportions and hairline horizontals that emphasize a vertical, engraved rhythm. Strokes are predominantly straight and taut, with narrow bowls and compact counters; curves feel controlled rather than calligraphic. Serifs are fine and sharp, reading as small, precise finishing strokes rather than heavy terminals. Overall spacing appears measured and consistent, producing a clean, column-like texture in text.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, magazine spreads, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant posters where its narrow footprint and high-contrast detailing can shine. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and not-too-small sizes.
The tone is poised and polished, leaning toward luxury and couture aesthetics. Its razor-thin details and compressed width create a sense of sophistication and restraint, with a lightly dramatic, display-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, boutique-style serif with an emphasis on height, slimness, and crisp contrast—aimed at creating an upscale, contemporary editorial look while maintaining classic serif cues.
In the sample text, the font forms an even, linear texture, but the very fine serifs and hairlines suggest it benefits from generous sizes and calm backgrounds. Numerals match the same tall, slender construction and integrate smoothly with the letters, reinforcing a cohesive, fashion-oriented voice.
