This typeface is a delicate display serif with razor-thin hairlines, pronounced contrast, and gently expanding stroke terminals that read as subtle flares rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and taut, with generous internal counters and a measured, open rhythm that keeps large sizes feeling airy. Serifs and terminals are minimal and sharp, while verticals carry the visual weight, giving the letters a poised, upright structure. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and a graceful, slightly calligraphic flow, and the numerals mirror the same high-contrast, fine-ended construction.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other large-size typography where the hairline detailing and flare can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding systems—logotypes, beauty and fashion collateral, and upscale packaging—where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired. For extended reading, it will perform most comfortably in larger text settings with ample spacing.
Overall it feels polished and high-end, with a quiet sense of luxury and restraint. The sharp hairlines and refined flaring details suggest fashion, art, and cultural publishing rather than utilitarian text. Its tone is modern-classic: sophisticated, calm, and intentionally precious.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-fashion serif that blends classical proportions with modern hairline refinement and softly flared terminals. Its goal seems to be creating an upscale, editorial texture with graceful curves and a crisp, luminous presence on the page.
At larger sizes the hairlines create a bright, glittery texture and emphasize page contrast, while tight joints and thin connections add a couture-like fragility. The design’s elegance comes from consistency of contrast and the controlled widening at terminals, which adds warmth without becoming overtly decorative.
