A hairline, high-fashion serif with extreme thick–thin contrast and a distinctly decorative construction. Strokes shift abruptly from razor-thin curves to small, dark wedge-like serifs and terminals that read almost as ink traps or flares. Bowls and counters are generous and open, while joins and apexes are sharpened, giving many letters a crisp, chiseled silhouette. The lowercase mixes delicate, near-monoline hairlines with occasional heavier vertical stems, and several glyphs feature curled, calligraphic terminals (notably on letters like a, g, j, y). Figures are similarly stylized, with thin outlines, flared bases, and occasional ornamental curls.
Best suited to large-size typography where the hairlines and ornamental terminals can remain crisp—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, boutique logotypes, invitations, and high-end packaging. In longer passages it reads as intentionally stylized display text, working well for short statements and pull quotes rather than continuous body copy.
The overall tone is couture and editorial—elegant, precious, and dramatic—tempered by playful flourishes that add a quirky, storybook edge. It feels performative and boutique rather than sober, designed to catch the eye through sparkle, contrast, and unusual details.
The design intent appears to reinterpret a modern, Didone-leaning display serif with added ornamental quirks—using dramatic contrast and flared wedge terminals to produce a distinctive, brand-forward voice. It aims for impact and sophistication while maintaining a playful, bespoke feel through curled terminals and stylized figures.
Spacing and rhythm favor display settings: many glyphs have airy interiors and fine connecting strokes that create a light, shimmering texture in text. The most distinctive signature is the repeated use of pointed, triangular flares at terminals and the occasional internal curls and dots that give certain letters a decorative, almost illustrative character.
