A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines set against assertive verticals, creating a sharp, high-contrast rhythm. Strokes terminate in subtle flares rather than heavy bracketed serifs, and many joins resolve into pointed, calligraphic-looking tips. Capitals are tall and narrow-feeling with generous internal whitespace, while the lowercase is compact with a noticeably modest x-height and long, graceful ascenders/descenders. Rounds (C, O, Q) are smooth and open, with a refined, slightly tensioned curve, and numerals follow the same hairline-heavy construction with elegant, sweeping forms.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion branding, luxury packaging, and elegant invitations where its refined contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for short, prominent text—titles, pull quotes, and mastheads—paired with a calmer companion face for longer passages.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with the kind of fragility and precision associated with high-end editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and tapered details read as sophisticated and stylish, leaning toward a classic, couture sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif glamour, using flared stroke endings and needle-thin details to maximize elegance and visual drama in headline typography.
The sample text shows clean word shapes and a bright page color at display sizes, with fine terminals and thin horizontals that can visually recede. Curved letters and diagonals (S, V, W, y) emphasize the font’s pointed, blade-like transitions, reinforcing a distinctly polished, dramatic texture.
