A delicate display serif with razor-thin hairlines, strong thick–thin modulation, and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp, often unbracketed, with clean terminals and a polished, high-end finish. Capitals are tall and elegant with generous counters (notably in C, O, Q), while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show crisp joins and pronounced contrast. Lowercase forms maintain a measured rhythm with small, refined details—such as a two-storey g, narrow arches in m/n, and a light, tapered t—creating an airy, precise texture. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with slender figures and distinctive curves in 2, 3, and 5.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and large-size editorial typography where its fine hairlines and dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, particularly for beauty, fashion, and high-end hospitality applications, and works well for elegant titling on covers and posters.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, combining a classical, editorial sophistication with a modern, minimalist edge. Its high refinement and sharp detailing evoke fashion mastheads, premium branding, and elegant cultural contexts where restraint and craft are central.
The design appears intended to deliver a quintessential high-contrast serif look with a contemporary crispness: tall proportions, precise unbracketed serifs, and dramatic modulation that reads as premium and curated at display sizes.
In running text the letterspacing and delicate strokes produce a bright, shimmering page color rather than a dense block, especially at larger sizes. The design leans on long verticals and tight joins, giving it a precise, tailored feel while keeping curves smooth and open.
