A delicate serif with extreme thick–thin modulation, crisp vertical stems, and whisper-fine hairlines that create a shimmering texture on the page. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with long, tapering terminals and a generally vertical, high-contrast stress. Proportions run wide with generous sidebearings and spacious counters; capitals feel tall and poised, while lowercase shows refined, calligraphic joins and a notably ornate double-storey g. Curves are drawn with a sculpted, engraved quality—especially in C/G/O/Q and the figures—giving the design a precise, jewelry-like outline.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty applications, premium branding, and packaging where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry the visual identity. It also works for short pull quotes or titling on posters when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, pairing runway elegance with a slightly theatrical, display-led sophistication. Its airy hairlines and high contrast read as premium and formal, evoking classic editorial typography and luxury branding.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-fashion display serif that emphasizes contrast, polish, and sculptural letterforms. Its wide stance and ornamental details suggest an aim to deliver a distinctive, upscale voice for titling and brand-led typography.
In text settings the rhythm stays calm and open, but the very thin horizontals and hairlines make the face visually sensitive to size, contrast, and reproduction conditions. The numerals follow the same refined construction, with prominent modulation and crisp entry/exit strokes that complement the letterforms.
