A delicate, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins. Serifs are finely bracketed and taper to sharp points, while curves show a smooth, drawn rhythm with narrow counters and tight apertures. Uppercase forms are slender and poised, with crisp terminals and an overall vertical elegance despite the italic slant. Lowercase features a single-storey a and g, slim arches, and long, clean extenders that reinforce a graceful, high-contrast texture in text.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant product or fashion branding where contrast and flourish are assets. It can also serve book jackets and chapter openers, as well as formal invitations, provided sizes and printing conditions protect the fine hairlines.
The font reads as polished and cultivated, with a distinctly luxe, editorial tone. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic movement suggest sophistication and ceremony, lending a high-end, literary mood rather than an everyday utilitarian voice.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice: crisp, calligraphic in motion, and optimized for expressive display and refined editorial typography rather than rugged text settings.
Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with several figures showing stylish curves and tapered terminals. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the spacing in the sample text produces an airy, shimmering line that benefits from generous leading.
