A hairline serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are tall and compact, with tight inner counters and a flowing, right-leaning rhythm that reads like a formal pen-drawn hand translated into a modern display italic. Serifs are delicate and finely bracketed, and terminals often finish in sharp, needle-like points or soft teardrops, emphasizing elegance over sturdiness. Numerals mirror the same thin, high-contrast construction with graceful curves and extended diagonals.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairline detail can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and formal invitations. It can also work for pull quotes or short subheads when ample spacing and high-quality reproduction are available.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a couture, magazine-like sophistication. Its crisp contrast and sweeping italics create a sense of motion and drama, while the restrained hairlines keep the impression quiet and premium rather than loud.
This font appears designed to deliver a refined, high-contrast italic voice for display typography, balancing classical serif structure with a sleek, contemporary narrowness. The emphasis is on elegance, motion, and visual delicacy rather than rugged readability in small text.
The design relies on extremely fine horizontals and joins, giving it a luminous, airy texture on white backgrounds. Curved forms (notably in round letters and figures) show generous, continuous arcs, while diagonals and apexes are sharpened to maintain a precise, high-fashion sparkle.
