A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, creating a distinctly engraved, high-fashion rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered, with gently bracketed joins and sharp, needle-like terminals that keep the texture bright and airy. Capitals are tall and graceful with sweeping curves and carefully controlled stress, while the lowercase shows a flowing, slightly calligraphic construction with narrow joins, teardrop-like details, and long, elegant extenders. Numerals and punctuation match the same refined contrast and slanted posture, reading as ornamental yet consistent with the text forms.
Best suited to editorial display typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers—where its contrast and italic flow can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits luxury-oriented branding applications such as beauty, fragrance, jewelry, and event materials like invitations or programs, especially when paired with a restrained supporting text face.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, balancing restraint with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its shimmering contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and ceremony, lending a couture, editorial voice to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice optimized for elegance and visual impact, emphasizing graceful curves, sharp finishing, and a polished, premium texture for sophisticated display typography.
In continuous text the strong contrast produces a sparkling line, with individual hairlines becoming an intentional part of the aesthetic. The italic slant is assertive and the spacing appears generously open for a high-contrast design, helping retain clarity at display sizes while preserving a delicate, high-end feel.
