A delicate, high-fashion serif italic with hairline horizontals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are tall and streamlined, with long ascenders/descenders and a right-leaning, calligraphic cadence. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, with tapered entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like terminals in places; curves stay smooth and controlled, and counters are relatively open for such a slender design. The overall rhythm is crisp and polished, emphasizing vertical stress and clean joins across both text and display sizes.
Best suited to large typography where its hairline details and contrast can remain intact—magazine headlines, elegant decks, boutique and beauty branding, and invitation or event materials. It can work for short text passages when set generously with ample size and leading, but it visually favors display and premium editorial settings over dense, utilitarian reading.
The font conveys a poised, luxurious tone—more runway and magazine than bookish tradition. Its light touch and sweeping italic movement feel romantic and aspirational, with a contemporary editorial sharpness rather than rustic warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-leaning italic serif for premium communication—prioritizing finesse, contrast, and a graceful reading rhythm. It aims to provide an upscale editorial voice with strong typographic presence while staying restrained and clean.
Capitals have a dramatic, poster-ready presence with thin cross-strokes and refined curves, while lowercase italic forms maintain an even, flowing texture in continuous text. Numerals appear similarly elegant and drawn for style over robustness, matching the same hairline detailing and contrast.
