A refined serif with razor-thin hairlines and prominent thick-to-thin modulation, creating a polished, high-fashion texture. Serifs are sharp and clean, with tapered terminals and long, smooth curves that feel carefully drawn and controlled. Proportions are slim and vertical, with a relatively tall x-height that keeps the lowercase present even as the design stays airy. Capitals are statuesque and spacious, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm; numerals and punctuation match the same crisp, delicate stroke behavior.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion or beauty branding, and premium packaging where crisp contrast and delicacy signal quality. It also works effectively for invitations and high-end identity systems when set with comfortable spacing and at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, projecting a runway/editorial sensibility with a quiet sense of authority. Its fine details and dramatic contrast read as sophisticated and premium, leaning more toward display elegance than everyday warmth.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver classic, high-contrast elegance with a contemporary smoothness, emphasizing graceful curves and precise hairline detailing for sophisticated display typography.
The design favors clean vertical stress and taut joins, with especially fine hairline connections in letters like n, m, and h. Round forms (C, O, Q, e) feel smooth and open, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sharp and disciplined. The sample text shows a consistent, glossy color at larger sizes, where the hairlines remain visible and contribute to the signature sparkle.
