A delicate, hairline serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and clear vertical stress. Stems are straight and crisp, while curves are drawn with taut, controlled bowls and very fine connecting hairlines. Serifs are sharp and minimal, giving terminals a clean, high-fashion finish rather than a soft, bracketed feel. Proportions are tall and poised; lowercase shows generous ascenders and descenders with an open, airy rhythm, and the overall color stays light even in larger paragraphs.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant poster work. It also performs well for pull quotes and section openers in editorial layouts when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a poised, runway/editorial sensibility. Its high contrast and needle-thin details create a sense of sophistication and drama, reading as modern classic rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice built around extreme contrast, sharp finishing, and a tall, elegant silhouette. It aims for visual impact and sophistication in prominent settings rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The numerals and select lowercase forms introduce subtle calligraphic flourishes (notably in the 2, 3, 5, and 6) that add personality without breaking the formal system. Large sizes emphasize the razor-thin hairlines and crisp serif edges, while longer text samples keep a refined, spacious texture.
