A delicate, hairline-driven display face with strong thick–thin modulation and a distinctly narrow, tall silhouette. Strokes terminate in sharp, tapered wedges and fine points, creating a crisp calligraphic rhythm rather than fully bracketed serifs. Curves are drawn with a controlled, slightly drawn-by-hand tension—seen in the oval forms and the nuanced joins—while counters remain open and airy. Proportions lean vertical and condensed, with long ascenders/descenders and a light overall color that emphasizes sparkle in large sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and upscale packaging where its thin strokes and sharp terminals can read cleanly. It also fits formal stationery and invitation work when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font conveys a polished, boutique tone—stylish, cultured, and lightly dramatic. Its thin strokes and pointed terminals feel luxurious and fashion-forward, with a formal, invitation-like composure that reads as premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-leaning calligraphic voice: slender, refined letterforms with dramatic contrast and a sculpted, vertically focused presence for high-end display typography.
In text samples, the very fine horizontals and hairline connections create a shimmering texture and a pronounced vertical cadence. The pointed terminals and narrow widths give lines a taut, rhythmic flow, while the numeral set maintains the same sleek, high-fashion restraint.
