This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. The letterforms are upright and relatively narrow, with a crisp, polished edge and a consistent vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and taut, while joins and terminals stay sharp and restrained, giving the overall texture a light, shimmering presence at display sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel formal and carefully proportioned.
It performs best in display and editorial contexts such as magazine headings, fashion and beauty branding, book or album covers, and upscale invitations. For longer passages, it is most effective when given generous size, leading, and high-quality printing or rendering so the hairlines remain intact.
The font conveys a poised, luxury-forward tone—cool, elegant, and editorial. Its thin hairlines and disciplined structure create a sense of sophistication and precision rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: tall, precise forms with dramatic contrast and minimal ornamentation. Its emphasis is on elegance and clarity in headlines and refined typographic settings.
In running text, the bright, open counters and strong contrast produce a sparkling page color, while the finest strokes can visually recede at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. The design’s narrow proportions help set long titles compactly without feeling heavy.
