A delicate modern serif with sharp vertical stress and extreme thick–thin modulation. Hairline serifs and terminals are crisp and pointed, while main stems are dark and columnar, producing a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled, with tight joins and small, precise apertures; bowls and counters feel compact and polished rather than airy. The lowercase keeps a restrained, bookish structure, with fine entry strokes and occasional sweeping tails (notably in letters like y and Q), and numerals follow the same high-contrast, display-oriented logic.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and luxury branding where its crisp contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for logotypes, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined, high-fashion voice. For text-heavy use, it will typically perform best with ample size and comfortable leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, combining poise with a sense of drama from the razor-thin hairlines and commanding verticals. It reads as fashionable and high-end, evoking magazine typography, beauty branding, and classic luxury packaging. The finish is formal and composed rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice with strong vertical elegance and polished detailing. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing prioritize sophistication and visual impact, aligning with editorial and brand-forward typography rather than utilitarian reading contexts.
In longer lines the hairlines visibly shimmer against the heavier stems, creating an energetic texture that rewards generous sizes and careful spacing. The design’s sharp terminals and fine connecting strokes give it a precise, almost engraved feel, especially in capitals with tall proportions and clean, tapered serifs.
