A delicate italic serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. Letterforms are narrow and slightly high-waisted, with long, tapered entry and exit strokes that create a continuous forward motion. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than blunt, and curves show crisp, controlled transitions from heavy stems to hairline terminals. The lowercase features compact counters with lively, calligraphic joins and occasional swash-like tails, while numerals keep the same sleek, tapered structure and angled stress.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-scale typography in magazines, lookbooks, and luxury branding. It can also work well for invitations and packaging where a refined italic voice is needed, especially when paired with a quieter companion for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its steep slant and razor-thin details feel fashion-forward and dramatic, suggesting premium branding and high-end publishing rather than utilitarian text.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and crisp finishing—prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and visual impact in display typography.
The design’s elegance comes from its tight spacing rhythm and the contrast-driven sparkle in the hairlines, which can appear especially fine in smaller sizes or on low-resolution outputs. The italic forms read confidently and are optimized for display settings where the pointed terminals and sweeping diagonals can be appreciated.
