This serif has an elegant, high-fashion profile built from fine hairlines and sharply tapered stems paired with fuller verticals. Serifs are thin and precise with pointed, wedge-like terminals, and curves are drawn with a controlled, calligraphic modulation that creates a crisp sparkle in counters and joins. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a balanced x-height and open shapes; details like the a and e use delicate apertures, and the g shows a more expressive, looped construction. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender joins and clean, sculpted curves.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, brand marks, and premium packaging where elegance and contrast are an advantage. It can also work for short editorial decks, pull quotes, and event materials when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size.
The overall tone is sophisticated and polished, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast suggest prestige and formality, while the lively modulation adds a touch of drama suited to display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical, high-contrast text serif: luxurious in tone, sharply detailed, and optimized for striking typography in editorial and brand-forward contexts.
In running text the hairlines create a bright, shimmering rhythm, and the sharp serifs emphasize verticality. The design reads best where rendering is clean and sizes are generous enough for the finest strokes to stay intact.
