A delicate serif with extremely thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The serifs are fine and sharp, with a polished, drawn quality and minimal bracketing, giving the forms a crisp, high-end finish. Capitals are tall and poised with generous interior space, while lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm with slim verticals, compact joins, and carefully controlled curves. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with graceful bowls and slender terminals that keep the overall texture light and spacious.
Well-suited to magazine and book display typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other applications where a refined, high-contrast serif signals premium tone. It works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and short paragraphs set with generous spacing, as well as formal materials like invitations or programs.
The overall tone is sophisticated and quiet, leaning toward luxury and editorial refinement rather than sturdiness. Its high-contrast sparkle and restrained posture suggest formality, tastefulness, and a curated, boutique sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic contrast serifs: slender, precise letterforms that create an upscale voice and a luminous typographic texture. It emphasizes elegance and clarity in display-forward settings where fine details can be appreciated.
At text sizes the hairlines create a bright, open page color, and the forms feel most confident when given room—ample leading and comfortable tracking help preserve the crisp rhythm. The design reads as intentionally minimal and polished, prioritizing elegance over ruggedness.
