A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and crisp, flared terminals. Strokes transition quickly from thin to thicker stems, producing a bright, airy texture and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Serifs are small and wedge-like, often resolving into sharp points rather than broad brackets, and many curves finish with tapered, calligraphic tips. Proportions feel moderately narrow to moderate with generous counters; uppercase forms are stately and clean, while lowercase shapes include a single-storey a and g and pronounced, fine finishing strokes that emphasize elegance over robustness.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, pull quotes, and high-end branding where its fine contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for invitations, packaging, and poster typography when set with ample size and spacing to protect its hairline features.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, projecting sophistication and restraint. Its razor-thin details and poised proportions read as luxurious and editorial, with a slightly dramatic, display-oriented sparkle.
The design appears intended as a refined display serif that balances classical proportions with fashion-style sharpness, using tapered terminals and minimal serifs to create a light, luxurious presence.
The thin horizontals and delicate joins create a shimmering contrast pattern that is striking at larger sizes but visually fragile in dense settings. Numerals appear similarly refined, with slender curves and pointed finishing strokes that match the letterforms’ tapering behavior.
