A delicate serif design with very thin hairlines, small wedge-like serifs, and subtly flared terminals that give strokes a tapered, calligraphic finish. Curves are open and lightly tensioned, with smooth modulation and crisp joins; several letters show idiosyncratic, sculpted details (notably in the S, G, Q, and the diagonals of V/W/X). Proportions feel classical but slightly stylized: capitals are tall and poised, while lowercase forms are compact with fine, precise entry/exit strokes and a restrained, pointed rhythm in arches and shoulders. Numerals echo the same light touch, with elegant curves and understated finishing strokes.
Best suited to display and large-text applications such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, fashion lookbooks, packaging, and event materials where its fine serifs and sculpted terminals can remain crisp. It can work for short editorial passages in high-quality print or generous sizing, but will generally reward careful size and reproduction choices.
The overall tone is refined and fashion-forward, balancing classic bookish sophistication with a faintly quirky, boutique personality. Its thin strokes and sharp finishing details read as premium and intentional, lending a sense of delicacy and poise rather than neutrality or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end, contemporary take on a classical serif, emphasizing lightness, sharp finishing strokes, and a curated set of distinctive letterforms for memorable headlines and branding.
The design relies on hairline details and tight finishing strokes that can appear fragile at small sizes or in low-resolution settings, but look striking when given room to breathe. The slightly unconventional construction in a few glyphs adds character without tipping into overt novelty, making it feel distinctive while still recognizably serifed.
