A delicate display face with very thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are built from smooth, rounded bowls and long, clean stems, with generous internal counters and a notably open, spacious rhythm. Curves terminate in tapered, pointed joins rather than blunt ends, and several glyphs show subtly calligraphic tension where strokes swell and then pull into sharp tips. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with slender verticals and broad, rounded curves that keep figures legible while remaining refined.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display, fashion and beauty branding, and poster typography where the fine hairlines can be appreciated. It also works well for short pull quotes and packaging-style wordmarks, particularly in high-resolution print or well-rendered digital contexts.
The overall tone is poised and polished, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. The airy spacing and razor-thin details convey a quiet, upscale confidence rather than a utilitarian feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-end display voice by combining generous, round proportions with dramatic contrast and tapered, needle-like terminals. Its detailing prioritizes elegance and visual impact over purely utilitarian text setting.
At larger sizes the crisp contrast and tapered terminals read as intentional ornament, while at smaller sizes the hairlines may become visually fragile, especially on dense text. The mix of round construction with sharp, needle-like joins gives it a distinctive, fashion-forward character.
