This typeface features extremely thin hairline connections paired with fuller, tapering stems and stroke endings that subtly flare rather than terminate with heavy bracketed serifs. Curves are drawn with smooth, high-precision arcs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are tall and poised with generous counters; uppercase forms feel stately while the lowercase stays delicate and open. Numerals share the same refined contrast, with slender diagonals and carefully tapered terminals that keep figures crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale settings where the hairlines and flared endings can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, lookbooks, and elegant poster titles. It can work for short pull quotes or deck text when set with comfortable size and spacing, but it visually performs strongest as a display face.
The overall tone is luxurious and polished, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a distinctly high-fashion shine. Its contrast and fine details give it a dramatic, upscale voice that reads as modern classic rather than rustic or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary display serif with couture-level refinement: strong contrast for glamour, flared stroke endings for a tailored finish, and carefully balanced proportions for confident, high-end typography.
Diagonal strokes and joins (notably in letters like K, V, W, X and y) emphasize razor-thin hairlines, which heighten the sense of sparkle but also make the design feel primarily display-oriented. Round letters such as O, Q, and e show a smooth, controlled modulation and clean interior whitespace, reinforcing an airy, premium texture across lines of text.
