A delicate, high-contrast sans with hairline joins and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes often swell into small wedge-like feet or beak-like endings, creating a calligraphic rhythm without traditional serifs. Curves are smooth and open, with round forms (O, C, e) kept spacious and light, while verticals stay slender and crisp. Uppercase proportions feel tall and poised; lowercase features a single-storey a and g, a looped descender on g, and an e with a fine horizontal cross-stroke, giving the text a refined, stylized texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine/editorial design, brand marks, invitations, and fashion or beauty packaging where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short text at generous sizes and spacing, but its hairline strokes and stylized terminals suggest avoiding small, dense UI or low-resolution applications.
The overall tone is sophisticated and slightly theatrical—more couture and editorial than utilitarian. The extreme thin-to-thick shifts and sharp terminals add a sense of polish and drama, while the open counters keep it feeling light and modern rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern sans silhouette infused with high-contrast, calligraphic finishing—aiming for an upscale, distinctive voice that stands out in branding and editorial typography while remaining relatively clean and unornamented.
Letterforms show intentional idiosyncrasies (notably in K, g, and y) that read as designed gestures rather than purely geometric construction. Numerals follow the same hairline-heavy contrast, with round figures emphasizing openness and a graceful, display-oriented presence.
