A delicate serif with pronounced hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins, producing a crisp, high-drama rhythm. Serifs are thin and largely unbracketed, with pointed terminals and a distinctly calligraphic sweep in strokes like the Q tail and the diagonals of K, V, W, and X. Capitals are tall and elegant with generous counters, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height and narrow apertures, reinforcing a vertical, dressy silhouette. Numerals and punctuation follow the same fine-lined logic, with slender stems and carefully balanced curves.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and high-end branding where the fine details can remain visible. It also fits premium packaging and formal invitations that benefit from an elegant, high-contrast serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and elevated, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its extreme delicacy and sharp detailing give it a poised, couture feel that reads as formal and curated rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif elegance, emphasizing sharp refinement, fashion-forward polish, and strong typographic contrast for attention-grabbing display use.
The font’s contrast and hairline elements create a shimmering texture in larger settings, but the thinnest strokes visually recede, especially in busy words or at smaller sizes. Rounded letters (O, Q, C, G) show smooth, controlled curves, while several glyphs introduce subtle flamboyance via tapered spurs and sweeping diagonals.
