A tall, narrow serif with dramatic stroke contrast: thick, flat verticals and razor-thin hairlines that taper into needle-like terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketless in feel, with a crisp, carved silhouette and occasional sharp, triangular spur endings. Many capitals carry small ornamental curls and internal hooks that read like restrained swashes, while several forms introduce cut-in counters or slit-like interior shapes for added decoration. Lowercase mixes classic, high-contrast book shapes with a few noticeably stylized details (notably in letters like g, j, and q), keeping an overall upright, couture-like rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where its hairlines and decorative inflections can breathe—magazine heads, fashion/beauty branding, boutique packaging, event invitations, and short poster lines. It will be most effective at moderate-to-large sizes and with ample spacing, especially when using the ornate capitals as initials or wordmarks.
The tone is refined yet playful—luxury editorial polish with a wink of ornament. It suggests boutique branding, vintage-inspired sophistication, and a slightly theatrical, storybook flourish rather than purely neutral classicism.
The design appears intended to reinterpret high-contrast serif traditions with added ornamental curls and cut-in detailing, aiming for a memorable, signature-like presence. It prioritizes elegance and character over neutrality, positioning itself as a decorative display serif for distinctive titling and brand voices.
The ornamentation is most pronounced in the capitals, where delicate curls add sparkle without turning the design into full script. The numerals match the display character, combining strong stems with hairline curves, and several glyphs use interior cuts that create a distinctive black-and-white patterning at large sizes.
