A refined serif with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals that often flare subtly as strokes resolve. The letterforms lean on elegant, calligraphic construction: thin hairlines, pronounced vertical stress in rounded characters, and sharp joining points that create a glittery rhythm in text. Capitals are stately and spacious, with carefully sculpted serifs and tapered diagonals (notably in A, V, W, and Y). Lowercase balances moderate x-height with generous ascenders/descenders; bowls and shoulders are smooth and slightly condensed in feel, while details like the ear of g and the sweeping tail on Q add a touch of flourish. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender connecting strokes and confident, dark stems.
Best suited to display typography—headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks—where the contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury packaging and beauty or lifestyle collateral, and can be used for short text passages in larger sizes with careful typesetting.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking fashion publishing and premium branding. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing lend an elegant, slightly theatrical voice that reads as modern-classic rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary luxury serif: high contrast, crisp finishing, and subtly flared endings that recall broad-nib calligraphy while maintaining a clean editorial discipline. It aims to create strong hierarchy and sophistication in modern print and brand contexts.
In paragraph settings the font produces a bright, sparkling texture due to very thin hairlines against strong verticals, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect comfort and clarity. The design’s distinctive tapered terminals and flare-like stroke endings provide sophistication without relying on heavy ornament.
