A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing strokes. The design leans on vertical, upright stems and finely tapered serifs that read as sharp and clean rather than bracketed. Curves are smooth and controlled, with generous interior counters and an overall open, light color on the page. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase maintains a calm rhythm with slender ascenders and descenders and small, precise details like the i/j dots.
It suits headlines, pull quotes, and titling where high contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated—such as magazines, brand marks, premium packaging, and invitations. In longer passages it can work best at comfortable sizes with adequate leading, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts where the hairlines remain clear.
The font conveys sophistication and restraint, with a fashion-and-editorial sensibility. Its high-contrast sparkle and airy spacing create a luxurious, formal tone without feeling ornate. Overall it reads poised, modern-classical, and premium.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice built on classical contrast and disciplined proportions. The intention is to provide a refined display-text hybrid that elevates tone through precision, lightness, and crisp serif detailing.
At larger sizes the hairline serifs and thin connecting strokes become a defining feature, giving the text a crisp, luminous texture. The numerals follow the same refined contrast, complementing display settings and polished typographic compositions.
