A delicate display serif built around extreme thick–thin contrast and hairline joins, with smooth, rounded curves and a distinctly calligraphic flare at many stroke terminals. Vertical stems read as crisp and commanding while horizontals and connecting strokes taper to fine lines, creating a shimmering, high-end texture. Serifs are subtle and often implied through widening terminals rather than bracketed slabs, and the overall drawing favors clean, polished geometry with occasional soft, ink-like transitions. The lowercase shows a two-storey g with a prominent ear, a flowing, looped y, and compact, elegant bowls; numerals and capitals maintain the same razor-thin modulation and poised proportions.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand expressions where refinement and contrast are assets. It works well for luxury packaging, beauty and jewelry identities, and large-format pull quotes; for smaller sizes, the fine hairlines suggest using it with ample resolution and breathing room.
The tone is luxurious and fashion-forward, with a cool, poised elegance that feels premium and contemporary. Its sharp contrast and airy hairlines create a sense of drama and sophistication, evoking runway/editorial styling and upscale branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice by combining razor-thin contrast with flared, calligraphic terminals that add warmth and individuality. It prioritizes elegance and impact in display settings while keeping letterforms clean and controlled for polished editorial composition.
Spacing appears generous in text, helping the hairlines stay legible and preventing dark spots despite the strong contrast. Large counters and open apertures keep the texture light, while distinctive terminals (notably in S, J, y, and g) add personality without tipping into ornament.
