A refined italic serif with tall proportions, pronounced vertical stress, and sharply tapered hairlines that contrast with fuller stems. Serifs are delicate and crisp, often resolving into pointed or blade-like terminals, giving the outlines a clean, cut-paper precision. Curves are smooth and controlled, with generous counters in rounds like O and Q, while diagonals and joins stay narrow and taut. The italic construction is consistent and flowing, and the overall rhythm alternates thin entry strokes with stronger downstrokes for a poised, fashion-oriented texture.
Best suited to display settings where its thin hairlines and precise serifs can remain clear: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, book jackets, and elegant invitations. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes with ample leading, where its italic rhythm reads as sophisticated rather than dense.
The font projects a polished, upscale tone—graceful and composed, with a touch of drama from its razor-fine details. It feels couture and literary at once, suggesting sophistication, restraint, and premium craft rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion italic with classic serif lineage—prioritizing elegance, contrast-driven sparkle, and a smooth, continuous calligraphic flow for premium editorial and brand-facing typography.
The lowercase shows a noticeably calligraphic slant and lively ascenders, while numerals and capitals maintain a stately, high-waisted presence. Fine joins and thin horizontals create a bright page color, so spacing and size will strongly affect perceived crispness in use.
