A delicate hairline serif with long, fine stems and light, neatly tapered terminals. Serifs are small and often wedge-like, with occasional pointed or curling finishes that give many letters a subtly calligraphic contour. Curves are open and generously rounded, while joints and crossbars stay thin and restrained, producing an overall high-contrast impression without heavy stress. The lowercase shows refined detailing—single-storey a and g, a softly swashed f, and notable ball-like dots/terminals on i/j and in a few numerals—adding ornament without breaking the consistent, minimalist stroke weight.
Well-suited to fashion and beauty branding, magazine-style headlines, and refined packaging where a light, luxurious texture is desired. It can also work for invitations, lookbooks, and short pull quotes where the decorative terminals and ball details can be appreciated.
The font reads as poised and fashionable, balancing classic serif manners with playful, decorative flicks. Its extreme lightness and occasional ball/teardrop accents lend a soft, intimate tone that feels more editorial and boutique than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with hairline elegance, augmented by subtle ornamental cues (ball terminals and gentle swashes) to create a distinctive, signature look in display typography.
Spacing and rhythm feel measured and open, with tall capitals and a slightly elevated elegance that favors display settings. The distinctive dotted accents on punctuation and some glyph terminals become a signature feature at larger sizes, while fine strokes may visually recede at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds.
