A delicate serif with hairline strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are sharp and minimal, often resolving into fine points, giving terminals a crisp, etched look. Round letters show smooth, near-circular bowls with tight apertures, while verticals feel dominant and steady; diagonals remain thin and taut. Lowercase forms are compact and restrained, with a two-storey “g” and a single-storey “a,” and numerals follow the same airy, high-contrast logic for an overall polished rhythm.
Best suited to magazine layouts, display headlines, and brand identities where a refined, premium impression is desired. It also fits posters and luxury packaging, particularly when used at larger sizes or with ample leading to preserve the airy detail.
The font conveys a poised, high-end tone associated with fashion, culture, and premium editorial design. Its razor-thin details and sculpted curves feel elegant and theatrical, with a cool sophistication rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion editorial voice through extreme contrast, precise serifing, and controlled proportions. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact over sturdiness, creating a sophisticated typographic signature for prominent text.
In longer text settings the spacing reads measured and even, but the finest strokes and pointed serifs create a shimmering texture that favors generous sizes and clean reproduction. The design’s sharpness is especially noticeable in letters like K, R, and Q, where thin joins and tapered finishes add a distinctive, crafted character.
