A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline details, creating a crisp, shimmering texture. The serifs are minimal and often flare subtly from the stems, with sharp terminals and finely tapered joins that emphasize a sculpted, calligraphic-to-didone feel. Uppercase forms are tall and poised with ample internal space (notably in C, G, O), while lowercase maintains an open, readable rhythm with compact, neatly finished terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, alternating strong verticals with extremely thin horizontals and curves for a refined, display-forward presence.
Best suited to large sizes where the fine hairlines can be appreciated: editorial headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium brand marks and packaging, cultural posters, and formal invitations. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads when set with comfortable leading and not overly tight tracking.
The overall tone is luxurious and cultivated, projecting sophistication through restraint and precision. Its high-contrast sparkle and razor-thin features evoke fashion, art publishing, and premium branding rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion voice through extreme contrast and carefully flared, sharpened endings—prioritizing elegance and visual drama over rugged versatility. Its proportions and disciplined detailing suggest a focus on refined display typography for curated, upscale contexts.
Diagonal strokes (V, W, X, K) appear especially slender at their thinnest points, increasing the sense of finesse and requiring generous spacing to keep counters and joins from visually collapsing at smaller sizes. The italic-like flicks on certain lowercase terminals add a subtle, stylish motion without leaning the overall stance.
