A delicate, fashion-oriented serif with tall, compressed proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are predominantly vertical with fine hairline horizontals and sharp, unbracketed serifs, creating a crisp, etched silhouette. Counters are narrow and elongated, and the rhythm is distinctly vertical, with many forms feeling slim and towering in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same slender, calligraphic contrast, with thin joins and small finishing strokes that emphasize finesse over robustness.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and fashion layouts, pull quotes, and elegant posters where large sizes can showcase the hairline detail. It also works well for brand marks and high-end packaging typography when set with generous size and careful tracking to preserve its refined contrast.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, projecting a polished, runway/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and narrow stance lend a refined, slightly theatrical presence that reads as premium and stylized rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and a premium editorial voice. It is crafted to make a strong stylistic statement in display settings through sharp serifs, slender proportions, and dramatic modulation.
In continuous text the thin horizontals and hairline terminals create a shimmering texture, especially where letters repeat vertical strokes. The design favors crisp silhouettes and display clarity over even color in small sizes, making spacing and size choices especially important for comfortable reading.
