A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline transitions. Serifs are small and sharply finished, with tapered, wedge-like entry and exit strokes that give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Round letters show smooth, near-vertical stress, while verticals stay straight and clean, producing a calm rhythm and open spacing. The lowercase is compact and disciplined with a two-storey "a" and "g", fine terminals, and slender joins; figures are similarly light, with elegant curves and narrow internal counters.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and fashion or culture layouts where high contrast and refinement are desirable. It also fits luxury brand identities, packaging, and invitation work, particularly when used at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking fashion publishing and high-end branding. Its high-contrast sparkle and razor-thin details read as sophisticated and formal, with a quietly dramatic presence in larger settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classical text serif: minimal, sharply cut serifs paired with extreme contrast to create a luminous, premium look in display typography.
In text, the hairline strokes and small serifs create a bright, airy texture, but the finest details look designed to shine at display sizes where the contrast and sculpted curves are most legible. The uppercase has a stately, classical proportioning, while the lowercase maintains a restrained, contemporary polish.
