A delicate serif with an extremely slender build and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a clean, chiseled feel and minimal bracketing, while stems remain straight and taut. Curves are controlled and narrow, producing compact bowls and tight apertures; the overall rhythm is vertical and disciplined. Lowercase details stay restrained and readable, with small, neat terminals and a tidy, understated italic-less posture throughout.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, magazine titling, pull quotes, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and narrow stance can shine. It can also support elegant packaging and beauty/fashion communications, especially when paired with generous spacing and clean layout structure.
The typeface conveys a polished, high-end tone—cool, poised, and meticulously dressed. Its narrow proportions and glossy contrast read as sophisticated and editorial, suited to settings where refinement and a sense of luxury are desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, couture-leaning take on traditional text serifs—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and contrast for high-impact typography in editorial and brand contexts.
The design’s hairline joins and thin cross strokes create an airy color on the page, while capitals bring a statuesque presence through height and vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same refined logic, pairing slender forms with crisp, high-contrast stress, yielding a consistent, fashion-forward texture in mixed content.
