A delicate display serif with extremely thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical strokes stay crisp and straight, while joins and stroke endings soften into subtle flares that read as tapered, calligraphic terminals rather than blunt serifs. The capitals feel open and sculpted with generous internal space, and curves are drawn with a smooth, controlled tension. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy, with small, sharp serifs and fine entry/exit strokes that keep the rhythm light and precise; numerals follow the same high-contrast, elegant construction.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial or branding applications where fine contrast can be appreciated. It can add a premium tone to luxury packaging and high-end identity work, and works well for short passages at comfortable sizes where its delicate hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, balancing classic bookish manners with a contemporary, fashion-forward sheen. Its bright, airy color and razor-thin detailing suggest refinement and exclusivity, lending a premium, curated feel to text.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern high-contrast serif with subtly flared, calligraphic terminals—combining classical elegance with a lighter, more contemporary display sensibility. Its proportions and detailing prioritize visual finesse and typographic sparkle over rugged, small-size utility.
The font relies on clean outlines and consistent contrast to create sparkle at larger sizes; delicate hairlines and tapered terminals become a defining texture in continuous setting. Wide, rounded forms like O/Q emphasize smooth curvature, while letters with diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) showcase sharp, needle-like hairline diagonals that heighten the sense of precision.
