A delicate italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Stems and diagonals taper quickly into fine serifs, giving the letters a light, lifted texture and a rhythmic, calligraphic flow. Capitals are narrow and poised with long, clean curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase keeps a compact body with slender ascenders and descenders that add vertical grace. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, mixing taut straight strokes with thin, sweeping curves for an editorial feel.
Best suited to display and large text where the hairlines and contrast can remain clear—mastheads, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks. It can also work for short, carefully set passages in books or cultural materials, especially where an elevated, classical tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with a distinctly luxe, fashion-forward sensibility. Its fine hairlines and sweeping italic motion read as sophisticated and slightly dramatic, suited to high-end presentation rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic voice that blends classical serif proportions with a sleek, contemporary refinement. Its intent is to create visual elegance and motion through strong contrast, crisp serifs, and gracefully elongated curves.
The design relies on sharp joins and minimal bracketing, so spacing and line length strongly affect its shimmer: larger sizes emphasize the razor-thin details, while tighter settings increase the sense of sparkle. Several letters show extended entry/exit strokes and tapered feet that reinforce the handwritten-italic impression without becoming overtly script-like.
