A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs that taper to fine points. The drawing favors smooth, near-geometric curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) paired with very slender verticals and sharp terminals, creating a crisp, polished rhythm. Proportions are fairly classical with moderate capitals, a restrained x-height, and generous interior counters, while the spacing reads open and breathable in text. Numerals are similarly light and poised, with the 2 and 3 showing elegant curved spines and the 4 and 7 built from sharp, linear strokes.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine-style layouts, book jackets, and elegant branding where large sizes can showcase the fine hairlines and contrast. It also fits formal invitations and display settings that benefit from a light, refined voice; for extended small-size reading, it will generally perform best with comfortable sizes and ample spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a quiet, editorial refinement. Its high-contrast sparkle and fine finishing details suggest luxury, ceremony, and cultured print traditions rather than utilitarian or rugged use.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice that feels premium and precise, balancing classical proportions with a clean, contemporary smoothness. Its primary goal seems to be visual elegance and typographic sparkle for display and editorial applications.
Several glyphs lean into calligraphic nuance despite the sharp contrast: the lowercase a has a single-storey form with a thin entry stroke, the g is double-storey with a graceful looped construction, and the Q features a subtle, sweeping tail. The uppercase forms maintain a calm, stately presence, while the lowercase shows a slightly more expressive, flowing cadence.
