A delicate serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Stems are slender and crisp, with fine hairlines in crossbars and diagonals, and small, sharp serifs that read mostly unbracketed. The overall silhouette is tall and condensed, with smooth, rounded bowls (notably in O/C/G) and tightly controlled apertures; spacing appears measured and slightly tight in text, emphasizing a sleek, columnar texture. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with thin joins and minimal terminal weight that keeps figures light on the page.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline detail and contrast can remain crisp—magazine headlines, fashion editorials, luxury branding, and premium packaging. It also works well for short pull quotes or large-format posters where the tall, condensed proportions help fit more text without losing elegance.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion tone—cool, poised, and slightly dramatic. Its hairline details and refined contrast suggest luxury, restraint, and editorial sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, couture-like serif voice: tall, sleek proportions paired with razor-thin hairlines and strong contrast for maximum elegance in display settings.
Round forms stay very clean and geometric-feeling for a high-contrast serif, while letters like S and a show taut curves and fine terminals that heighten the crispness. The strong vertical emphasis creates an even, sophisticated color in larger settings, but the thinnest strokes visually recede at smaller sizes.
