A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and subtly flared stroke endings that sharpen into tapered terminals. The capitals feel statuesque and open, with generous inner counters and crisp joins; diagonals and vertices (notably in V/W/X/Y) resolve into needle-like points. Lowercase forms keep a measured, bookish rhythm with compact apertures and small, precise serifs, while round letters show finely drawn curves and careful contrast transitions. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant, slightly calligraphic stress and minimal, clean detailing.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and elegant logotypes. It also works well for pull quotes and short editorial lines where its delicate contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated without competing with small-size readability demands.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, balancing classical formality with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its extreme finesse reads as elegant and quiet rather than loud, lending text a cultured, editorial sophistication.
Likely designed to deliver a modern take on a high-fashion, high-contrast serif, emphasizing precision, elegance, and sculpted terminals. The flared endings and fine hairlines suggest an intention to evoke classic print refinement while feeling crisp and contemporary in display use.
In longer settings the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create an airy page color, and the pointed terminals add a subtle sense of tension and drama. The design’s refinement is most apparent at larger sizes, where the flaring and tapering details remain distinct and intentional.
