An elegant serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced stroke contrast, pairing straight, vertical stems with gently swelling curves. Serifs are small and sharp, with fine, bracket-like transitions that keep joins crisp while preserving a smooth, flowing rhythm in round letters. Proportions feel tall and airy, with generous counters and a slightly narrow, vertical stance; terminals often finish in tapered, pointed forms rather than blunt cuts. The lowercase shows a two-storey “g” with a refined ear and a long, descending loop, plus slender ascenders and descenders that emphasize verticality and lightness.
Best suited for display use such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant invitations where the fine hairlines can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes in supportive sizes, but it benefits from ample size and clean reproduction to preserve its delicate detailing.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking fashion mastheads, art magazines, and contemporary luxury branding. Its delicacy reads sophisticated and cultured, with a cool, poised presence rather than warmth or rusticity. The sharp contrast and fine details add drama and a sense of ceremony, especially at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif look: dramatic contrast, precise detailing, and graceful curves that elevate branding and editorial typography. It aims for sophistication and visual sparkle in large settings while maintaining recognizable, conventional serif letterforms.
In text, the extreme contrast creates a shimmering texture with strong vertical emphasis; spacing appears open enough to keep forms from collapsing, but the thinnest strokes remain visually fragile. Numerals and capitals share the same hairline elegance, giving headings a stately, editorial feel and making punctuation and diacritics look particularly crisp.
