A tall, elegant serif with very slender hairlines and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes show a pronounced calligraphic modulation, with long vertical emphasis and narrow set proportions that create a crisp, airy rhythm. Several glyphs incorporate deliberate breaks and bridges, producing a consistent cut-and-gap texture that reads like precision slicing rather than rough distress. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with small, pointed serifs and occasional sweeping hooks in the lowercase that add a sculptural, couture-like finish.
Well suited to display typography such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, boutique packaging, and poster headlines where its tall proportions and precise breaks can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially with slightly increased tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is refined and fashion-forward, with a cool, high-end sensibility. The broken-stroke detailing adds a subtle edge—more boutique and dramatic than industrial—giving the face a distinctive, designed presence without becoming noisy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, editorial serif silhouette with an added crafted twist from the strategically broken strokes. It prioritizes elegance and recognizable character for branding and headline settings rather than neutral, text-first utility.
The glyphs maintain strong verticality and generous white space, so the face looks best when allowed to breathe. The stencil breaks are placed as intentional design accents; at smaller sizes they may read as fine notches, while at display sizes they become a key part of the personality.
