A sharply contrasted serif with dominant vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines, creating a brittle, sparkling texture. Serifs are slender and pointed with minimal bracketing, and many joins resolve into tapered terminals that feel pen-informed rather than purely mechanical. Proportions are narrow with tall capitals and long ascenders/descenders; lowercase shows a noticeably small x-height, giving text a lofty, vertical rhythm. Curves (notably in C, G, O/Q, and the figures) are drawn with strong thick–thin modulation and a tight, elegant aperture control, while round counters often read as small and crisp against the heavy stems.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and ornament can read clearly—magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and book covers. It can work for editorial pull quotes or openings when set with generous size and leading, but it is less appropriate for long-running body text at small sizes due to the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is couture-like and editorial—polished, high-drama, and intentionally delicate. Its sharp contrast and airy spacing cues suggest sophistication and a slightly theatrical, poetic voice, with an old-world elegance that feels suited to luxury and culture contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-fashion, high-contrast serif voice with an ornamental twist—combining classic vertical-stress elegance with signature inner details to stand out in display settings. It prioritizes refined silhouette and dramatic modulation over utilitarian neutrality.
Several glyphs incorporate distinctive, teardrop-like inner details (visible in rounded forms such as O/Q and some figures), which adds an ornamental signature and increases the font’s display character. In continuous text, the strong verticals create a striped rhythm while hairlines and fine serifs demand sufficient size and high-quality reproduction to avoid breakup.
