A high-contrast serif with extremely thin hairlines and prominent thick-to-thin modulation. Stems resolve into delicate wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings, giving many characters a tapered, calligraphic finish rather than blunt terminals. Curves are smooth and generous, with oval forms that feel slightly vertical, and joins stay crisp and clean. Overall spacing reads open and carefully balanced, supporting a light, shimmering texture in text while maintaining strong vertical rhythm in capitals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and high-end branding where its contrast and fine detail can be appreciated. It also works well for invitations and packaging that benefit from a refined, formal voice; for long passages, it will typically shine more in larger sizes and spacious layouts.
The font conveys a poised, luxurious tone—precise and stylish, with a quiet sense of drama from its razor-thin hairlines and sculpted endings. It feels contemporary in polish while nodding to classical, editorial letterforms, making it suitable for designs that aim for sophistication and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, premium serif voice through extreme contrast and carefully flared, tapered endings, balancing classical proportions with a lightweight, contemporary sheen. Its forms prioritize elegance and visual sparkle over sturdiness, aiming for impact in display and editorial settings.
Several glyphs emphasize elegant tapering at stroke ends (notably in diagonals and curved terminals), and the numerals share the same contrast and refinement, with a graceful, display-oriented presence. In extended text the hairlines contribute to a bright, delicate color that can appear especially crisp at larger sizes.
