A hairline serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering terminals. Strokes are predominantly fine and continuous, with occasional wedge-like joins and subtly flared ends rather than heavy bracketed serifs. Round letters show smooth, high-contrast curves and open counters, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are especially slender and sharp, emphasizing a crisp, drawn quality. The lowercase is narrow and rhythmic with a modest x-height, and several glyphs introduce distinctive interior strokes or crossbars (notably in E/e and some numerals), giving the design an ornamental, custom-built feel.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and poster headlines where its hairline contrast and decorative constructions can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, especially when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and stylish, projecting luxury through extreme delicacy and contrast. At the same time, the unusual internal strokes and playful detailing add a lightly eccentric, boutique character—more editorial and expressive than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to blend classic high-contrast serif elegance with idiosyncratic, decorative letterform interventions, creating a signature look for contemporary editorial and branding use.
The spacing appears generous, helping the thin strokes breathe, but the hairline joins and sharp diagonals suggest the design will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the fine details remain visible. Numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive forms that feel more display-oriented than utilitarian.
