A delicate, contrasty text face built from extremely thin hairlines paired with fuller verticals and smooth, controlled curves. Proportions are tall and compact, with generous interior whitespace and a steady, upright stance. Terminals tend to be sharp and tapered, giving many strokes a needle-like finish; joins are clean and minimal, and round letters keep a calm, near-vertical stress. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with refined ascenders and descenders, while figures are slender and poised for display settings.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other high-impact display applications where its contrast and tapered terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes, section openers, and elegant packaging, especially when set with ample tracking and whitespace.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a quiet, editorial elegance. Its airy hairlines and sharp finishing details suggest a fashion-forward, boutique sensibility rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial kind of sophistication by combining extreme delicacy with disciplined structure. Its tall proportions and crisp finishing details aim to create a premium voice for modern display typography.
At larger sizes the fine details read as crisp and sophisticated; in smaller sizes the hairline elements may become visually fragile compared to the heavier stems. The rhythm feels carefully spaced, with a consistent, measured cadence across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
