A delicate serif with extreme stroke modulation: razor-thin hairlines and sharply weighted verticals create a crisp, etched rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered, with pointed terminals and occasional flaring at stroke ends, giving the forms a sculpted, high-waisted look. Several capitals and lowercase show restrained internal curls and looped details (notably in forms like B, G, Q, g, and s), adding decorative energy without becoming fully script-like. Counters are generally compact and vertical, while round letters stay narrow and controlled; numerals and punctuation match the same hairline-to-stem contrast and poised proportions.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, boutique packaging, event collateral, and invitation work where elegance and contrast are an asset. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes when set large enough to preserve the hairlines and ornate internal details.
The overall tone is luxe and theatrical—more runway and magazine than utilitarian text. Its sharp contrast and ornamental touches suggest formality, sophistication, and a slightly whimsical, boutique sensibility.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with heightened contrast and carefully placed flourishes, balancing classic editorial proportions with decorative signature moments for branding impact.
In longer sample text, the brilliant hairlines and tight internal spaces read as intentionally delicate, with a lively sparkle but reduced robustness at small sizes or in low-resolution contexts. The design feels most convincing when given generous size and spacing so the fine details and curls remain distinct.
