A delicate, high-fashion serif with hairline serifs and sharp, tapered terminals paired with strong vertical stems. Curves are smooth and controlled with a largely vertical stress, and the overall rhythm feels airy due to thin joins and ample interior space. Uppercase forms are wide and stately, while the lowercase is more compact and readable, with a single-storey “g” and a two-storey “a” that maintain a clean, editorial polish. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender diagonals and small, crisp finishing strokes that keep the texture light on the page.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion or beauty layouts, luxury identities, and high-end packaging where crisp contrast can shine. It can also work for short passages and pull quotes at comfortable sizes and with sufficient print or screen quality, but the fine hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The tone is poised and luxurious, evoking magazine typography and premium branding. Its sharp contrast and restrained detailing suggest sophistication and formality rather than warmth, with a cool, modern take on classic book and display traditions.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium serif voice built around dramatic contrast, sharp finishing strokes, and elegant proportions. It aims to balance commanding capitals with a cleaner, readable lowercase for sophisticated publishing and branding applications.
In continuous text the letterforms create a bright, sparkling texture, and the thin horizontals and hairline serifs become a defining feature. The ampersand is notably ornate and flowing compared to the otherwise restrained set, adding a touch of flourish for headlines or formal titling.
