A delicate serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and hairline detailing. The letterforms lean on tall proportions and long verticals, with sharp, finely tapered serifs and a polished editorial rhythm. Several capitals and round letters introduce internal swashes and spiral-like curls, creating moments of ornament without turning fully script. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters stay open, and the overall texture remains light on the page despite the strong contrast.
Best used for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand expressions where contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It fits beauty and fashion applications, premium packaging, boutique identities, and elegant event materials, and can also work for short editorial passages when set with generous size and spacing.
The tone is refined and expressive, combining high-fashion sophistication with a slightly whimsical, hand-drawn flourish. It feels luxurious and curated, suited to designs that want a sense of exclusivity and artistry rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-flavored serif voice: classic proportions and sharp serifs paired with selective ornamental strokes that function as a built-in signature. It aims to stand out in display typography while retaining enough conventional structure to remain readable in short texts.
Distinctive display gestures show up most strongly in the rounds (notably O/Q-like forms) and select lowercase characters, where thin inner strokes add signature movement. In paragraph-like samples the airy hairlines and ornamental inflections create a sparkling, high-end texture, but the personality is most pronounced in larger settings where the fine details have room to breathe.
