A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline details. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, combining crisp wedge-like terminals with fine bracketed serifs that stay light on the page. Proportions are tall and open, with generous counters and a slightly flowing baseline feel, while the overall spacing reads airy rather than dense. Numerals and capitals keep the same high-contrast logic, producing a consistent, polished texture across mixed text.
Best used where elegance and contrast can be appreciated—editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, as well as book or album covers and fashion or cultural branding. It can work for short to moderate passages at comfortable sizes, especially in print-like layouts where its delicate strokes have room to breathe.
The tone is cultivated and upscale, leaning toward classic editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian text setting. Its lightness and sharp finishing details give it a poised, luxurious voice suited to refined messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast italic, prioritizing finesse, sparkle, and expressive rhythm over robustness. It aims to provide a sophisticated companion for refined typography in editorial and brand-forward contexts.
In longer lines the face forms a bright, shimmering color typical of high-contrast italics, where fine joins and hairline strokes become a key part of the style. The italic construction feels continuous and fluent, with a graceful, slightly formal cadence in both caps and lowercase.
