A sharp, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines. Stems are tall and clean, with crisp, mostly unbracketed serifs and a polished, engraved feel in the joins and terminals. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) show smooth, controlled ovals with fine thins, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) taper to needle-like endpoints. The lowercase features narrow, elegant forms with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and a long, delicate f; figures are similarly refined, with thin cross-strokes and a graceful, lightly drawn 2 and 3.
This font is best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty campaigns, premium packaging, and elegant invitations. It also works well for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and title pages where its crisp contrast and vertical rhythm can be showcased without the hairlines getting lost.
The overall tone is upscale and poised, with a fashionable, editorial drama driven by stark thick–thin rhythm. It reads as formal and cultivated rather than casual, evoking luxury branding and contemporary magazine typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, refined take on a classic high-fashion serif: strong verticals, minimal serif bracketing, and controlled curves that emphasize sophistication and typographic drama.
At text sizes, the fine horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, airy texture that benefits from generous spacing and good printing or screen rendering. The design’s contrast makes it especially striking in titles and pull quotes where the hairlines can remain intact.
