A delicate, hairline-driven serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and long, tapering terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with ball terminals appearing on select forms (notably in the lowercase) and very thin joins that create a polished, high-fashion rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel statuesque with generous counters, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic flow through shapes like a, g, and y. Numerals echo the same refined contrast, with airy interior space and sharp, precise finishing.
Best suited to large-size settings where the hairlines and high-contrast structure can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion lookbooks, beauty branding, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes and title treatment in print or high-resolution digital contexts where fine strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, reading as classic luxury with a modern, minimalist edge. Its extreme refinement and crisp detailing evoke couture editorials, premium packaging, and sophisticated cultural branding rather than utilitarian text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-end voice through extreme stroke modulation, elegant terminal treatment, and spacious, well-balanced bowls. It prioritizes visual drama and sophistication for display typography over ruggedness or small-size practicality.
Spacing and letterfit appear relatively open in display sizes, helping the thin hairlines stay legible and contributing to an airy texture in paragraphs. The design leans on graceful curves and terminal finesse to create personality without relying on heavy ornamentation.
