A very delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins. The design shows smooth, round bowls with vertical stress and crisp, bracketless-looking serifs that read as thin and precise rather than sturdy. Uppercase proportions feel tall and poised, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and long, fine ascenders/descenders that add a light, floating texture. Curves are clean and controlled, terminals are pointed or finely finished, and the overall color on the page is bright and open due to the extremely thin hairlines.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other large-size typography where the contrast and hairlines can stay crisp. It can also work for luxury branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and invitations where a refined, formal voice is desired; for longer passages, it will generally benefit from generous size and spacing.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its delicacy and contrast give it a sense of luxury and formality, leaning more toward display sophistication than everyday utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice built around extreme contrast, vertical elegance, and precise finishing. It prioritizes visual sophistication and a light, airy page color for display-led applications.
The numerals and punctuation follow the same refined logic, with graceful curves and very thin connecting strokes that emphasize elegance over robustness. In continuous text, the strong contrast and slender hairlines create a shimmering rhythm and a distinctly ‘fashion magazine’ feel, especially at larger sizes.
