A delicate italic serif with hairline-thin horizontals and needle-like serifs contrasted against fuller, smoothly swelling stems. The drawing leans on a calligraphic axis and pointed terminals, with crisp joins and subtly bracketed serifs that keep forms sharp rather than soft. Spacing feels open and measured, and the letterforms maintain a consistent, graceful slant across caps and lowercase. Numerals and punctuation echo the same fine-line treatment, with high-waisted, curving figures and small, precise dots and commas.
Best suited to display typography where its fine hairlines and sculpted contrast can shine: fashion or lifestyle headlines, boutique branding, luxury packaging, and formal invitations. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck copy when given generous size and leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its high-drama contrast and refined details suggest sophistication and formality, while the italic movement adds a sense of motion and flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on the traditional italic serif, emphasizing elegance through extreme contrast, tapered terminals, and a controlled, calligraphic rhythm.
Distinctive curls and tapered entry/exit strokes give many glyphs a slightly ornamental finish (notably in the J, Q, f, y, and z), which reads especially striking at display sizes. The thin hairlines and tight details imply it will reward careful size and reproduction choices, particularly on low-resolution or textured surfaces.
