A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-fine hairlines. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a gently right-leaning posture and smooth, continuous curves that read as calligraphically informed rather than rigidly geometric. Serifs are small and refined, often bracketed into stems, and the terminals frequently finish in sharp, tapered points. The overall texture is light and open, with slightly generous sidebearings that keep strokes from visually colliding despite the high contrast.
Well-suited to display and short-form reading contexts where its fine hairlines can be appreciated—magazine typography, pull quotes, book or essay titles, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale invitations. It can also work for brief passages in print when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its delicate details.
The font conveys a polished, editorial sophistication—poised and expressive without becoming ornamental. Its airy contrast and graceful slant create a sense of quiet luxury, making text feel curated and considered rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant, high-contrast italic voice for conventional serif typography—prioritizing grace, sharpness, and a refined reading rhythm for editorial and brand applications.
In the sample text, the rhythm is driven by strong verticals paired with thin linking strokes, producing a sparkling page color at larger sizes. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast with elegant curves, aligning with the refined, fashion-forward tone of the letters.
