This serif presents an extreme thick–thin rhythm with hairline serifs and razor-fine unbracketed terminals that taper to points. Curves are smooth and taut, with a polished, high-precision feel; many joins resolve into sharp wedges and delicate hooks. Proportions read as classical and slightly elongated, with wide, open counters and a measured, even baseline rhythm. The lowercase shows a lively calligraphic influence in details like the single-storey a, the looped g, and the long, elegant descenders, while capitals keep a restrained, monumental structure.
Best suited to display sizes where its hairline detailing and sharp terminals can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling where a dramatic, refined texture is desirable.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication and a curated, high-fashion sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and needle-like finishing give it a boutique, premium voice that feels poised and deliberate rather than casual.
The design appears intended to translate classic serif proportions into a modern, high-contrast statement, emphasizing elegance through extreme modulation and meticulously sharpened terminals. It aims to deliver a sophisticated display voice with a clean, contemporary finish.
In text, the hairlines and pointed terminals create a sparkling texture, especially around diagonals and curved letters (S, C, G, e). Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with delicate entry/exit strokes, reinforcing a cohesive, refined page color.
