A tall, slender typeface with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals that create a delicate hairline presence against firmer stems. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic rhythm visible in letters like S, a, and g, and numerals that maintain the same high-contrast logic. The lowercase shows a conventional, readable build with a two-storey a and a looped g, while capitals keep an even, composed stance and narrow footprints. Overall spacing feels open enough for display use, with a consistent, polished silhouette across letters and figures.
This style is well-suited to editorial headlines, fashion or lifestyle layouts, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, high-contrast voice. It can also work effectively on packaging and posters where large sizes preserve the hairline detail and emphasize its elegant verticality.
The font conveys a poised, editorial sophistication—clean and contemporary in structure, yet carrying a classical, fashion-forward finesse through its high contrast and sharp finishing. Its tone feels premium, calm, and slightly dramatic, lending text a curated, magazine-like presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, premium display texture by pairing narrow proportions with strong contrast and crisp terminals, achieving a sophisticated look that remains orderly and readable in short-to-medium text settings.
Distinctive details include the sharp, angled joins and tapered ends on many strokes, plus an elegant Q tail that adds a subtle flourish without becoming ornamental. The numeral set reads refined and light, with thin horizontals and tapered curves that match the letters’ contrast and vertical emphasis.
