A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs that terminate in sharp, wedge-like points. Curves are drawn with clean, continuous transitions into thin joins, and many letters show a slightly calligraphic, tapering feel at terminals. Proportions are tall and poised with a relatively narrow internal rhythm, while counters stay open and calm. The lowercase features compact, disciplined shapes with long, fine extenders and minimal stroke endings, giving text a shimmering, high-contrast texture.
Best suited to editorial display settings—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles—where its high contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, beauty and fashion communication, and formal stationery or invitations when printed or rendered at sufficiently large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a quiet, upscale tension created by the extreme contrast and razor-thin details. It reads as modern-classic and fashion-forward, suited to sophisticated, controlled compositions rather than casual or rustic voices.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice with dramatic contrast and precise, sharply finished serifs. It prioritizes elegance, vertical poise, and a refined page color, aiming for strong visual sophistication in display and editorial use.
The numerals and uppercase maintain the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and very thin horizontal elements that emphasize verticality. At text sizes the hairlines create a light, sparkling color, while at larger sizes the sharp terminals and tapered strokes become a defining stylistic feature.
