A delicate display serif with razor-thin hairlines, strong vertical stress, and crisp, tapered serifs. The design leans on tall proportions and a sculpted, fashion-oriented rhythm, with occasional calligraphic flicks and swash-like terminals that add sparkle without turning fully script. Curves are tightly controlled and smooth, while joins and entry strokes often sharpen to fine points; some characters introduce asymmetric flourishes that create a lively, slightly unpredictable texture across a line. Numerals echo the same elegant contrast and include a mix of restrained forms and more stylized, curving figures.
Best suited to large-size typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and short editorial pulls where the hairlines and swashes can be appreciated. It can work for brief subheads or captions in controlled print/digital settings, but will be most confident when given space and scale.
The font conveys an upscale, runway-editorial tone: poised, glossy, and intentionally dramatic. Its hairline details and ornamental finishing give it a sense of luxury and exclusivity, suited to statements rather than quiet utility.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that merges classic high-contrast fashion letterforms with selective ornamental gestures, creating a recognizable, boutique voice for branding and editorial display.
Several capitals and lowercase letters feature distinctive terminal treatments (notably on forms like J, Q, f, v/w, and x), creating signature moments that read as decorative accents. Because the thinnest strokes are extremely fine, the overall color can shift from crisp to fragile depending on size and reproduction method.
