A sharply contrasted serif with strong vertical stems and extremely thin hairlines. Serifs are fine and pointed, giving terminals a crisp, chiseled feel rather than rounded or slabby endings. Curves are smooth and taut with narrow apertures, and the overall rhythm is vertical and elegant. Uppercase forms are statuesque and commanding, while lowercase shows compact proportions with a relatively modest x-height and clean, restrained detailing.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, cover lines, and other large-scale editorial settings where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-oriented identities and packaging where an elegant, high-contrast serif is desired. For long passages, it will be most comfortable at larger text sizes and with ample spacing.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone associated with editorial typography and luxury branding. Its dramatic thick–thin transitions and precise hairlines create a sense of sophistication and formality, with a cool, contemporary edge when set large. The overall impression is confident and stylish rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice that feels both classic and fashion-forward. Its narrow proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation prioritize elegance and impact, aiming for strong visual presence in display typography.
At display sizes the razor-thin strokes and delicate serifs read as a defining feature, producing a bright, shimmering texture in text blocks. The figures follow the same contrast-driven logic, with a prominent, stylized ‘4’ and elegant curves on ‘2’, ‘3’, and ‘9’, supporting a refined typographic palette for headlines and numerals.
