A delicate display serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply swelling main strokes that create a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Serifs are small and sculpted, often tapering into fine points with subtle flaring at terminals, giving stems a chiseled, calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with generous apertures and elegant joins; the overall color stays airy while still reading confidently through strong thick–thin modulation. Uppercase proportions feel stately and vertical, while lowercase forms maintain a balanced, contemporary bookish rhythm with clear counters and a clean baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and large-format typography where the contrast and fine detailing can remain intact. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and elegant invitations or cultural posters that benefit from a refined, high-end voice.
The tone is polished and elevated, projecting couture-like sophistication and an editorial sheen. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals add a sense of drama and formality, suggesting premium branding and carefully art-directed typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, editorial serif with pronounced thick–thin drama and flared finishing, prioritizing elegance, sophistication, and visual sparkle at display sizes.
The figures and capitals share the same tapered stroke logic, producing a cohesive, jewelry-like sparkle in large sizes. In dense paragraphs the hairlines become a defining texture, so spacing and size will strongly influence perceived crispness and legibility.
