This serif typeface uses extremely thin hairlines paired with stronger vertical stems, producing a crisp, high-contrast texture. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with long, tapering terminals and a generally vertical stress that keeps forms poised and clean. Proportions feel compact in width with generous internal counters and careful spacing, giving lines a light, shimmering rhythm. The lowercase shows a two-storey a, a looped g, and a subtly calligraphic flow in curves and joins; numerals are similarly refined, with thin connectors and elegant bowls.
It is well-suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial design, magazine headlines, and elegant brand identities where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry the tone. It also fits invitations and upscale packaging, particularly when set with ample whitespace and at sizes that showcase its fine detailing.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a runway/editorial polish. Its delicacy and contrast suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth, lending a modern-classic, premium feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing sharpness, verticality, and graceful curves for a premium, display-forward voice.
The design’s very thin hairlines and pointed details make it visually striking at display sizes, where the sharp serifs and refined curves can read clearly. In denser settings, the light strokes may appear fragile, so generous size and spacing help preserve the intended sparkle.
