A crisp display serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and slender, hairline serifs. Stems often widen subtly as they approach the terminals, creating a gentle flare that reads as sharpened wedges rather than blunt endings. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow joins and pointed vertexes in letters like V, W, and A, while round forms (O, Q, C) show an emphasized contrast between robust verticals and fine horizontal transitions. The lowercase keeps a compact, poised construction with delicate beaks and tapered entry/exit strokes, and the numerals mirror the same sculpted contrast and sharp finishing.
This face is best suited to headlines, cover lines, and large-format typography where the fine hairlines can remain clean and visible. It works especially well for fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or event identity, and can also serve as a distinctive accent font alongside a simpler text companion.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted flares communicate sophistication and ceremony, balancing classic bookish cues with a modern, glossy edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-fashion, high-contrast serif voice with sculpted flares that add sparkle and refinement. It prioritizes dramatic letterforms and elegant rhythm for impactful display typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
Spacing appears open and intentional, helping the thin strokes stay distinct in larger settings. The design’s sharp terminals and high contrast give it a distinctly display-forward rhythm, with particularly striking diagonals and a lively, calligraphic feel in the lowercase.
