A delicate display serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are small and sharp with a subtle flared, tapered feeling at stroke terminals, giving the forms a carved, high-fashion finish rather than a blunt bracketed structure. Capitals are tall and stately with generous inner counters (notably in O, Q, and D), while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish rhythm with narrow joins and clean, vertical stress. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and diagonals (V, W, Y, X) resolve into needle-like ends that emphasize precision and contrast.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and other large-size typography where the hairlines can stay crisp. It’s a strong choice for beauty, fashion, jewelry, and hospitality branding, as well as premium packaging and formal invitations. For smaller text or low-quality printing, the fine hairlines may require careful sizing and contrast management.
The overall tone is poised and premium, evoking magazine mastheads, runway branding, and upscale packaging. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals communicate sophistication and drama, with a slightly modern, polished edge rather than a rustic or old-style warmth.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-end, editorial look through extreme modulation, sharp hairline detailing, and sculptural serif endings. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama, creating a distinctive typographic voice for display settings and brand-forward applications.
In continuous text the contrast produces a sparkling texture, with hairlines that visually recede and thicker stems carrying most of the color. The numerals share the same refined contrast and include especially delicate forms (e.g., the angular 4 and the thin top on 7), reinforcing the display-oriented character. Spacing appears open enough for titles, while the fine details suggest it benefits from larger sizes and good reproduction conditions.
