A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, combining long, tapering terminals with crisp wedge-like serifs and sharp joins. Curves are generously drawn and open, with an airy overall texture; ascenders and capitals feel tall and graceful, and numerals follow the same high-contrast, finely tapered construction.
Best suited to display and short-form text where its fine hairlines can be appreciated—magazine typography, luxury branding, headlines, pull quotes, and book or chapter titling. It can also work for refined invitations and packaging, especially when printed well or used at larger sizes.
The tone is poised and luxurious, conveying a sense of editorial sophistication and crafted refinement. Its sweeping italics and razor-thin details add drama without feeling ornamental, suggesting a classic, cultured voice suited to premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end italic voice with strong calligraphic movement and a couture-like contrast profile. It prioritizes elegance and visual finesse, aiming for impactful, polished typography in editorial and branding applications.
The italic construction is prominent across both upper- and lowercase, with notable entry/exit strokes on letters like a, f, g, and y and a flowing, handwritten quality in the lowercase. Fine details are especially visible in the terminals and the inner hairlines of letters such as S, C, and e, giving the design a crisp, high-fashion sparkle at larger sizes.
