A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and fuller verticals, showing a distinctly flared behavior where stems swell subtly into tapered, blade-like endings. Serifs read as hairline and sharp rather than bracketed, with smooth, calligraphic transitions through joins and curves. Uppercase proportions feel stately and open, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with long, clean ascenders and descenders that add vertical rhythm. Curves are taut and polished, with narrow apertures and controlled counters that keep the overall texture light and glossy at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, and premium brand wordmarks where the fine hairlines can be preserved. It also works well for elegant invitations and packaging typography, especially in larger sizes and high-quality print or high-resolution screens.
The font conveys a polished, luxurious tone with a quiet formality. Its sharp hairlines and flared detailing evoke fashion publishing and refined print traditions, lending text a cultured, high-end presence without feeling ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modernized, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing sharp hairlines, flared stroke endings, and graceful proportions for a luxurious editorial feel.
The design’s delicacy is most pronounced in diagonals and cross-strokes, which become extremely thin and give characters a sparkling, engraved-like finish. Numerals match the refined contrast and read well as display figures, contributing to an overall sophisticated typographic voice.
