A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline terminals. Letterforms are tall and slightly condensed, with a smooth, forward-leaning rhythm and sharply tapered entry and exit strokes that feel pen-influenced despite a very crisp, print-like finish. Serifs are minimal and often wedge-like, appearing as fine flicks rather than heavy brackets, while curves (notably in O/Q and the bowls of a/b/d/p) stay controlled and oval. Numerals continue the same refined contrast with slender diagonals and long, elegant curves.
Best suited to fashion/editorial headlines, luxury packaging, beauty or lifestyle branding, and sophisticated short-form copy where the italic voice is part of the aesthetic. It also works well for invitations, pull quotes, and titling in magazines or lookbooks, especially when given ample size and whitespace.
The overall tone is upscale and cultivated, pairing a luxurious editorial feel with a light, airy sophistication. Its italic motion adds drama and a sense of couture flourish, reading as confident and polished rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif voice that emphasizes refinement through extreme contrast and minimal, sharp serifs. Its proportions and brisk, slanted cadence suggest an intention for elegant display typography with a distinctive editorial signature.
Capitals show generous verticality and clean spacing, while lowercase italics feature single-storey forms and compact counters that reinforce a sleek, streamlined texture. The design’s thin details and sharp tapering are visually striking at display sizes and can become fragile as size decreases.
