A tall, tightly proportioned serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and vertical emphasis. Strokes alternate between sturdy stems and extremely fine hairlines, producing sharp, clean joins and crisp terminals. Serifs are delicate and narrow, generally unbracketed, and the overall rhythm is vertical and stately, with compact counters and a narrow set that packs words into slender columns. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, upright construction, while select glyphs (notably the Q and some numerals) add slightly idiosyncratic, display-leaning details.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty identities, cultural posters, and high-end branding where its narrow width helps fit long titles and its contrast delivers impact. It can also work for short pull quotes or decks when set with generous spacing and sufficient size.
The tone is polished and theatrical, combining classical refinement with a distinctly modern, fashion-forward attitude. Its narrow silhouette and glittering hairlines create a sense of luxury and tension—formal, confident, and attention-seeking rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, editorial voice in a space-efficient footprint, pairing a classical serif vocabulary with exaggerated contrast for contemporary display impact.
At text sizes, the extreme hairlines read as bright accents against dark stems, giving lines a lively shimmer and a strong vertical cadence. The figures appear similarly condensed and contrasty, suited to prominent settings where their stylization remains clear.
