A delicate italic serif with a strong thick–thin rhythm and hairline terminals. Strokes move with a smooth, calligraphic slant and show crisp joins, while curves are clean and tightly controlled. Serifs are fine and sharp, often tapering to points, with minimal bracketing and an overall light footprint on the page. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with generous ascenders and descenders that add vertical elegance. Numerals and capitals share the same refined contrast and thin finishing strokes, creating a cohesive, dressy texture in setting.
Well suited to magazine-style editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant packaging where contrast and italic movement can stand out. It also fits invitations, programs, and formal announcements, especially for names, quotes, and display lines. For longer passages, it will perform best at comfortable sizes and in print or high-resolution environments where hairline details remain intact.
The tone is sophisticated and polished, with a couture-editorial feel. Its airy hairlines and sweeping italics convey luxury, romance, and formality more than utility. The overall impression is poised and ceremonial, suited to situations where typography is meant to look intentional and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical high-contrast italics, emphasizing grace, sharp finishing strokes, and a refined reading rhythm. It prioritizes elegance and typographic drama over ruggedness, aiming for a premium, curated aesthetic in display and carefully set text.
In continuous text the letterforms produce a bright, open color with pronounced rhythmic modulation, and the italic angle is consistent across cases and figures. The design relies on fine details—hairline serifs, thin cross-strokes, and tapered terminals—so it visually rewards larger sizes and careful spacing.
