A delicate display face defined by extremely thin hairlines paired with occasional stronger vertical strokes, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Proportions are tall and generally condensed, with open counters and generous internal white space that keeps the texture light. Curves are clean and controlled, terminals are sharp and understated, and the overall drawing stays upright and orderly with a polished, modern finish.
Best suited to large sizes where the fine hairlines can remain crisp—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty campaigns, luxury packaging, and high-end brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, but will look most confident when given ample size and breathing room.
The tone is poised and upscale, balancing cool modernity with a hint of classic refinement. Its lightness and contrast read as luxurious and fashion-forward, giving text a careful, curated presence rather than a casual voice.
The design appears aimed at a sophisticated, high-contrast look that feels contemporary and premium, using slender forms and sharp detailing to create a light, elevated typographic color for display settings.
In continuous text the thin horizontals and hairline joins create a bright page color and pronounced vertical emphasis. The numerals and capitals feel especially display-oriented, favoring elegance and silhouette over ruggedness.
