A delicate italic serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. The letters show a consistent rightward slant, narrow join points, and crisp, tapered serifs that often resolve into fine points rather than heavy brackets. Capitals are tall and poised with generous interior space, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and rely on long, sweeping italics for rhythm. Curves are smooth and polished, with thin horizontal elements and sharply defined terminals that give the whole design a light, sparkling texture on the page.
Best suited to display and short-form typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and luxury branding where its high-contrast italic voice can be appreciated. It also works well for formal invitations and refined titling, and can be used sparingly in editorial settings when set large enough to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is sophisticated and stylish, leaning toward editorial luxury rather than everyday utility. Its slender strokes and glossy contrast feel formal, romantic, and slightly dramatic, evoking classic bookish refinement and modern fashion sensibilities at the same time.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful, high-fashion italic companion for elegant typography, prioritizing contrast, sharp finishing details, and a smooth, calligraphic flow. It aims for a premium look with a light touch, emphasizing sophistication over rugged readability.
In the text sample, the strong contrast creates a lively shimmer, but the finest strokes appear fragile at small sizes or on low-resolution surfaces. The italic forms emphasize flowing movement, especially in round letters and in the descenders, producing an expressive, polished cadence.
