A sculpted display serif with extremely thin hairlines contrasted against broad, swelling main strokes. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often resolving into tapered points rather than flat brackets, while many curves finish in rounded ball terminals that heighten the ornamental feel. The rhythm is upright and formal, with notable modulation through the bowls and a slightly calligraphic, ribbon-like quality where strokes thin to near-hairline and then widen abruptly. Uppercase forms are stately and high-waisted; lowercase combines compact counters with distinctive terminal shapes that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial titling, posters, and brand marks where the contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for premium packaging and invitations, especially when paired with a restrained sans or a quieter text face for supporting copy.
The overall tone is fashion-forward and theatrical, balancing refinement with a touch of eccentricity. The sharp tapers and glossy contrast suggest luxury and ceremony, while the ball terminals and exaggerated stroke transitions add a playful, dramatic edge.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, high-contrast serif for display typography, emphasizing elegance, drama, and distinctive terminal detail. Its construction prioritizes visual character and luxurious texture over low-size neutrality.
Numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and small finishing details that feel more display-oriented than utilitarian. In text, the delicate hairlines create bright sparkle and crisp texture, but the strong modulation makes it feel most at home when given ample size and generous spacing.
