A very delicate serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and razor-thin hairlines. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed to unbracketed, with pointed, tapering terminals that give many strokes a needle-like finish. Curves are smooth and taut, bowls are clean and symmetrical, and counters stay open despite the light weight. The overall color is bright and airy, with a calm vertical rhythm and a slightly formal, classical construction across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, and high-end brand identities where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits formal collateral like invitations and packaging when printed or rendered at sufficiently large sizes.
The typeface projects sophistication and restraint, reading as luxurious and editorial rather than casual. Its high-contrast sparkle and slender presence evoke fashion, culture, and premium print aesthetics, with an intentionally poised, composed tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a couture/editorial sensibility—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and refined details over ruggedness or small-size robustness.
In the text sample, the hairlines and joins create a shimmering texture at larger sizes, while the thin horizontals and delicate serifs can visually recede as size drops. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and appear designed to sit gracefully alongside uppercase and running text.
