A delicate, hairline display face with extreme thick–thin modulation and predominantly vertical stress. Strokes taper to needle points, with sharp, clean joins and minimal bracketing, giving the letters a crisp, etched feel. Proportions are tall and slender, with small counters and long, elegant curves in rounded forms; serifs read as fine, straight terminals rather than heavy slabs. The overall rhythm is smooth and measured, with a consistent, high-contrast texture that stays light even in dense text.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, luxury branding, and high-end packaging. It can work in short pull quotes or large subheads where the fine strokes have room to breathe, but it is less appropriate for small sizes or low-resolution environments.
The tone is polished and fashion-forward, projecting elegance and exclusivity through its razor-thin strokes and sculpted curves. It feels dramatic yet restrained—more couture and gallery than casual—adding a sense of sophistication and quiet glamour to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a couture, high-contrast look with a modern, airy footprint—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama over utilitarian text readability.
Several glyphs show distinctive, calligraphic-like tapering and occasional extended terminals that add flair without becoming ornate. Because the light hairlines dominate, the design reads best where the fine strokes can remain intact and the contrast can be appreciated.
