A delicate serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp hairline details. The design relies on tall proportions, narrow apertures, and a poised vertical rhythm, with sharp, clean serifs and finely tapered terminals. Counters are generally compact and the forms feel high-waisted, giving the text a stately, dressy silhouette. Select characters introduce ornamental touches—subtle swashes, teardrop/ball-like terminals, and occasional decorative interior marks—adding personality without turning the entire alphabet into a display script.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial or brand applications where elegance and contrast can be appreciated. It can work well for fashion, beauty, luxury, and cultural branding, as well as premium packaging and invitations, particularly at display sizes.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, blending classic refinement with a hint of eccentricity. It reads as formal and fashion-forward at first glance, then reveals playful, slightly quirky details that create a distinctive voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a high-contrast serif tradition with added ornamental quirks, delivering a sophisticated display voice that remains readable while providing memorable, signature details.
In running text, the thin hairlines and strong modulation create a sparkling texture that favors larger sizes and generous spacing. The decorative moments in letters such as the Q and some lowercase forms stand out as intentional accents, making the face feel curated and characterful rather than purely utilitarian.
