A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines, pronounced thick–thin transitions, and subtly flared stroke endings that read as soft, tapered serifs rather than blunt terminals. The forms are tall and elegant with generous apertures and a clean, controlled rhythm. Curves are smooth and taut, with fine joins and a slightly calligraphic modulation that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The numerals and round letters (O, Q, 0, 8) emphasize an oval geometry, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sharp and precise, reinforcing a crisp, high-end texture in text.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, luxury and beauty branding, and sophisticated poster or campaign typography where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can also serve as an editorial text face in spacious layouts and larger sizes, where the fine hairlines and flared endings remain legible and intentional.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, projecting a fashion-forward, gallery-like sophistication. Its airy hairlines and poised contrast suggest luxury and restraint rather than warmth or informality, making it feel contemporary while still rooted in classical serif manners.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a distinctive flared finish—balancing classical proportions with a crisp, contemporary sheen for premium editorial and brand applications.
In the text sample, the hairlines create a shimmering texture and strong vertical emphasis, while the flared terminals add a distinctive signature at larger sizes. The design’s refinement is most apparent in titling and display settings, where the delicate details and contrast remain clear.
