A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, weighty vertical stems, and sharply tapered, hairline serifs. The forms are upright with a relatively high waist in the curves, giving bowls and rounds a poised, slightly tensioned feel. Counters are clean and open, while terminals often finish in fine points or small ball-like endings, adding sparkle at display sizes. The overall rhythm alternates between bold verticals and delicate connecting strokes, producing a crisp, polished texture in words and lines.
This is well suited to magazine titling, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and other applications where contrast and elegance are assets. It works particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of prominent text where the fine hairlines can be maintained.
The font projects a refined, editorial tone—luxurious and composed, with a dramatic, runway-like snap from its contrast and hairlines. It feels confident and formal rather than casual, evoking print sophistication and a classic sense of taste.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif behavior, emphasizing sharp refinement, vertical emphasis, and crisp detailing for editorial and brand-forward typography.
In the samples, the thins become extremely delicate, so the face reads best when there is enough size and reproduction quality to preserve the hairlines. Numerals and capitals carry a sculpted, display-oriented presence, while the lowercase maintains a tidy, conventional structure with elegant finishing details.
