A refined serif with sharply tapered hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Serifs are small and clean with a delicate, modern feel, and terminals often finish in precise points or subtle teardrops. The capitals are tall and poised with generous counters, while the lowercase shows compact, controlled joins and a smooth, polished rhythm. Overall spacing reads open and deliberate, emphasizing verticality and crisp contours in both text and display settings.
Well suited to magazine layouts, lookbooks, and other editorial typography where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also fits branding and packaging for beauty, fragrance, jewelry, and hospitality, and works effectively for invitations and formal announcements. In longer text, it benefits from comfortable sizes and careful line spacing to preserve its fine details.
The typeface projects an editorial, high-fashion tone—cool, composed, and intentionally dramatic. Its delicate detailing and sculpted curves feel premium and formal, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxury-minded reading experience built on classic serif proportions and heightened contrast. Its controlled shapes and crisp finishing suggest a focus on elegance and impact in titles and premium communication.
Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) show particularly fine hairlines and clean circular geometry, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) carry strong contrast that heightens sparkle at larger sizes. Figures follow the same polished logic, with elegant curves and thin connections that read best when given adequate size and breathing room.
