A slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. The design shows a vertical, fashion-oriented stress with delicate serifs and tapered terminals that keep counters open and forms light on the page. Capitals feel tall and poised with sharp apexes and controlled curves, while the lowercase leans more fluidly with occasional swash-like finishing strokes (notably in letters such as f, g, y, and z). Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic slant, maintaining an even, airy rhythm in text.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and other luxury-forward applications where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for invitations, pull quotes, and short paragraphs in magazines or books, especially when set with generous spacing and at sizes that preserve the fine hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its sharp contrast and graceful italic motion suggest formality and taste, leaning toward luxury and literary refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-style italic serif with a classic, Didone-leaning contrast profile and tasteful flourishes. Its priorities seem to be elegance, a smooth reading rhythm in display-to-text contexts, and a distinctive italic character that elevates headings and refined brand typography.
In longer samples, the strong diagonal movement and hairline joins create a lively texture with clear word shapes, while the most calligraphic terminals add flourish in display settings. The thins are extremely fine relative to the stems, which increases the sense of sophistication and lightness, especially at larger sizes.
