This typeface is built around extremely thin hairlines paired with strong vertical stems, creating a sharply defined, high-fashion serif silhouette. Serifs are fine and pointed with a clean, modern cut, while curves are smooth and taut, keeping counters open and shapes controlled. The uppercase feels tall and statuesque with narrow joins and crisp terminals; the lowercase maintains a calm rhythm with compact, rounded bowls and slender arches. Numerals follow the same delicate construction, with thin connecting strokes and carefully balanced loops that read best at display sizes.
Best suited to large headlines, magazine spreads, brand marks, and luxury packaging where its hairlines and crisp serifs can stay intact. It can work for short editorial pulls or deck text when set with ample size and leading, but it is primarily a display voice rather than a workhorse for small sizes.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial polish and a cool, contemporary restraint. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing convey sophistication and exclusivity rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and refined detailing. Its construction aims for a premium, editorial feel with sharp finishing and a light, airy typographic presence.
In text settings the fine hairlines and tight details produce a shimmering texture, especially around joins and cross strokes, giving paragraphs a distinctly dressy, high-end color. The design’s elegance is most apparent where generous spacing and larger sizes allow the thin strokes and pointed serifs to remain clear.
