A delicate display serif built around extreme thick–thin modulation and long hairline terminals. Many letters carry oversized circular and teardrop-like entry/exit strokes that read as ornamental swashes, creating a distinctive split between bold main stems and whisper-thin curves. Serifs are sharp and fine, with a crisp, high-end finish; counters are generally generous, while some joins and cross-strokes taper to near-hairline. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a lively, boutique rhythm rather than a strictly even text cadence.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, mastheads, brand marks, and premium packaging where the high-contrast strokes and ornamental swashes can be appreciated. It works well in short phrases, invitations, and pull quotes, and is less ideal for long passages of small text due to the fine hairlines and busy detailing.
The tone is couture and theatrical—elegant in its contrast, but intentionally quirky through its looping, ribbon-like flourishes. It suggests runway titles, perfume packaging, and editorial headlines where refinement and drama are both desirable.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif with overtly decorative, looping hairline gestures, prioritizing elegance and memorability over neutrality. Its variable proportions and expressive terminals aim to create a signature look for branding and editorial applications.
The decorative hairline loops are prominent across both uppercase and lowercase, sometimes extending beyond the core letterform and adding a sense of motion. In the sample text, these flourishes can become visually dominant at smaller sizes or in dense settings, making the face feel most comfortable when given generous size and spacing.
