A high-contrast italic serif with strong vertical strokes and extremely fine hairlines that taper into sharp, delicate terminals. Serifs are narrow and clean, with a mostly unbracketed feel, giving the letters a crisp, engraved quality. The italic construction is fluid and calligraphic, with lively entry/exit strokes and a noticeable rightward slant; widths vary by letter, creating an animated rhythm across words. Counters are relatively open for the style, and the overall texture alternates between bold stems and whisper-thin connecting strokes, producing a distinctly shimmering page color.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, brand marks, and refined packaging where its high contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for book and chapter titling or pull quotes, particularly on high-quality print or high-resolution screens. For extended body copy, it will typically benefit from generous size, leading, and careful reproduction to preserve the hairlines.
The font reads as poised and upscale, balancing classic bookish sophistication with a runway-ready drama. Its razor-thin details and energetic italic movement give it a polished, romantic tone that feels ceremonial and editorial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion interpretation of classical italic serifs, prioritizing sharp contrast, elegance, and expressive movement. Its forms aim for a luxurious, editorial voice with a clean, contemporary finish.
In the sample text, the contrast and hairlines become a defining feature, especially at smaller sizes where the thinnest strokes may visually recede. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast, and the overall spacing feels airy, emphasizing elegance over density.
