A high-contrast serif with hairline cross-strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation, combining crisp, vertical stress with delicate, looping terminals. Capitals are formal and display-oriented, featuring restrained swashes and inward curls on selected strokes, while lowercase remains comparatively simple but still sharp and contrasty. Serifs are fine and pointed, with a polished, slightly calligraphic finish that gives the face a decorative rhythm without becoming fully script-like. Numerals echo the same contrast and include occasional flourish details, keeping the overall texture airy and precise at larger sizes.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, brand marks, beauty or boutique packaging, event collateral, and wedding or formal invitations. It can add emphasis in pull quotes or short subheads, especially where decorative capitals are used sparingly to avoid overwhelming longer passages.
The font conveys a poised, fashion-forward elegance with a hint of drama. Its flourished detailing reads as classic and ceremonial, suggesting luxury, romance, and editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to merge a modern high-contrast serif structure with ornamental, swashed gestures for a distinctive signature in titles. It prioritizes elegance and character—especially in uppercase—aiming to elevate simple wording into a more premium, ceremonial presentation.
The visual color is uneven by design: the ornate capitals create strong focal points and a lively baseline when used in headlines or title case. Fine hairlines and tight interior details suggest it will be most comfortable at display sizes where the delicate curls and terminals can remain distinct.
