This typeface uses extremely thin hairline strokes with pronounced contrast in curved joins and terminals, creating a delicate, almost engraved feel. Letterforms are clean and largely unembellished, with smooth circular bowls and open apertures, while straight stems stay rigid and vertical. Proportions feel slightly tall, with generous counters and light, precise terminals; diagonals (V, W, X, Y, K) read sharp and fine. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same hairline economy, with a single-storey “g” and simple, rounded figures that keep an even, quiet rhythm in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine titling, brand identities, and display settings where the fine contrast can remain crisp. It can also work for short text passages at larger sizes, particularly in high-quality print or high-resolution digital layouts where its hairline details are preserved.
The overall tone is refined and understated, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its thin strokes and crisp geometry give it a poised, curated voice that feels modern and calm rather than playful or rugged.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary voice with a premium, fashion-forward sensibility. By combining very fine strokes with clean, rounded construction, it aims to feel sophisticated and light while maintaining clear letter differentiation.
In the text sample, spacing appears relatively open and the hairline strokes can visually recede, especially in dense lines. Rounded letters (o, e, c) and the clean, simple terminals contribute to a smooth, polished texture, while the strong contrast in curves adds a subtle fashionable edge.
