This serif typeface is drawn with extremely thin hairlines paired with thicker vertical stems, creating a striking high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, with clean, tapered joins and a generally smooth, polished finish. Uppercase proportions feel classical and poised, with wide, open bowls (notably in C, O, Q) and long, confident verticals in letters like H, N, and M. The lowercase shows a calm text structure with a relatively modest x-height, narrow apertures in places, and a crisp, calligraphic flavor in the stroke modulation; the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender diagonals and delicate terminals.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial typography, especially for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and refined typographic layouts where contrast and elegance are central. It also fits luxury branding, beauty packaging, and high-end stationery where a polished, sophisticated serif is desired. The very delicate details suggest it will be most comfortable at larger sizes and in high-quality reproduction contexts.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a runway/editorial sophistication that reads as premium and formal. Its lightness and razor-thin detailing give it a refined, airy presence that feels upscale and curated rather than utilitarian. In longer passages it conveys a quiet elegance, while in display settings it becomes distinctly fashion-forward.
The typeface appears designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a contemporary, fashion-oriented refinement. Its intention is to create visual drama through extreme stroke modulation while keeping letterforms disciplined, readable, and clean for editorial use.
The design’s very fine horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, sparkling texture in larger text, but the thinnest strokes remain visually fragile relative to the heavier verticals. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the punctuation and figures maintain the same delicate, high-contrast voice as the letters.
