A delicate, high-contrast italic serif with long, tapered stems and extremely fine hairlines. The forms are narrow and fluid, with a consistent rightward slant and a vertical, fashion-style stress that makes thick strokes feel crisp and planar while terminals dissolve into needle-thin finishes. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, and many glyphs show extended entry/exit strokes and small, gestural flourishes (notably in J, Q, g, y, and several figures), giving the design a lively, handwritten-leaning rhythm despite its formal construction. Spacing and proportions read lean and continuous, with an overall light color and a smooth cursive flow in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion or luxury branding, book or magazine titling, and formal invitations where refinement and contrast are assets. It can work for short text passages in spacious layouts, but its fine hairlines and ornamental terminals favor larger sizes and high-quality reproduction.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its airy hairlines and sculpted strokes suggest sophistication and ceremony, while the subtle flourishes add a touch of romance and personality rather than strict austerity.
The design appears intended as an elegant display italic that blends Didone-like contrast with calligraphic motion. It prioritizes grace, sparkle, and expressive detailing to deliver a premium, editorial voice in branding and headline typography.
Uppercase shapes are especially statuesque, with wide, open counters (C, O) and dramatic contrast in diagonals (V, W, X). The lowercase shows a gentle cursive cadence, including looped or hooked descenders and softly rounded joins that help maintain flow at display sizes.
