A delicate contrasted sans with razor-thin hairlines and sharply thickened verticals, producing a sculpted, fashion-oriented rhythm. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that feel more drawn than engineered. Counters are generous and the overall proportions lean tall, with narrow joins and elegant, open apertures. The lowercase mixes simple, modern constructions with a few more calligraphic moments (notably in the double-storey forms), while numerals follow the same thin–thick logic for a consistent, glossy texture.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography where its thin details and sharp contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for short pull quotes and large-size titling paired with a sturdier text face.
The tone is poised and upscale, with a runway/editorial sensibility that reads as confident and slightly theatrical. Its extreme delicacy suggests refinement and precision, giving text a polished, premium voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary luxury look by combining a sans foundation with dramatic contrast and tapered, calligraphic terminals. Its proportions and stroke behavior prioritize elegance and visual impact for high-end communication.
The strongest visual feature is the pronounced hairline detailing, which creates a shimmering texture in larger settings and emphasizes stroke transitions. The design’s elegance relies on clean reproduction and ample breathing room, as the thinnest strokes can visually recede in dense layouts.
